I’ve been diagnosed twice, by two different psychiatrists, both of whom came to the same conclusion. There are thousands of people who claim to have ADHD, and who base their self-diagnosis on a myriad of so-called “educational websites.” Please don’t do this.You don’t get it for five seconds then laugh about it as it goes away for three months.

A representative of Oprah Winfrey’s listened in on the phone, and a platter of sandwiches sat on the table. Facing them was a collection of white editors and executives from Macmillan, the publishing house that had recently put out American Dirt, the most controversial book of the year, or maybe the century.
