The University Lectu re Committee has teamed up with UI Students for Disability Advocacy & Awar eness to bring How to ADHD YouTuber Jessica McCabe to T he Englert Theatre on October 8th!
\nJessica’s ADHD-focused YouT ube channel has taken off in recent years\, with over 300\,000 subscribers and hundreds of videos discussing the ADHD experience. Her 2017 TED Talk “Failing at Normal: An ADHD Success Story” has nearly 1.2 million views\, and she has given talks about ADHD across the world — including as the key note speaker for the 2018 International Conference on ADHD.
\nThe CD C estimates that approximately 11% of Americans\, both adults and children \, will receive a diagnosis of ADHD in their lifetime. These 1 out of 10 a re our friends\, our neighbors\, our co-workers\, our children\, our spous es\, our clients\, our patients\, our students — and yet few people truly know what it means to experience life as an ADHDer. Jessica’s talk will cl ue audience members into the real realities of a life lived with a neurodi verse brain — the struggles\, the triumphs\, the tears\, and the laughs!\n
