Each week, 34-year-old Jessica McCabe exudes confidence and cheer as she reaches out to others through the screen on her YouTube channel, “How to ADHD.”
But it wasn’t always that way. As a tween, McCabe began struggling socially and at school, and her grades and confidence plummeted. Bullied by her peers at school, she had challenges at home, too. She told TODAY Parents, “I couldn’t manage my emotions. I wasn’t hyperactive; more the shy, fidgety, daydreamer type, so I wasn’t disruptive in class. But homework was an issue and my grades were suffering.”
