Gina offers literary clarity in her explanation of ADHD. Her personal perspective, gained from quizzical interactions with her future husband, reflects a process of discovery and enlightenment. I was struck by her incidental read of the book "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life" that catapulted her into deeper understanding of the disorder. The most remarkable comment was that individuals affected "know what to do, but can't do what they know." (One must guard against over-application of this--I have had the same thought many times after taking standardized board exams).

I believe that Gina is an ideal podcast speaker. She is warm, honest , and apparently deeply appreciative of the opportunity to talk with an audience. And you, Don, are an ideal podcast host. You are equally, warm, honest, and committed to your listeners. In my view, when a podcast moves individuals from hearing to experiencing the topic, it is successful. You both scored hits on this one.
