Episode # 152 - ADHD, Autism, and True Crime with BaconBearzz P1
In Episode 152 of Let’s Talk Learning Disabilities, Laurie interviews Amber (BaconBearzz), a YouTube content creator known for covering true crime stories centered on scams and manipulation, who opens up about her own late ADHD diagnosis -- which came only after a 2023 breakdown triggered by a cascade of family crises, including her daughter's sudden vision loss and her autistic son being found a half mile from his school. Amber shares how her undiagnosed ADHD had manifested throughout her life as anxiety, OCD-like hyper-vigilance, and an inability to finish tasks, and how her journey navigating her son Max's autism diagnosis - including IEP meetings, speech therapy, and the guilt of initially wondering if she caused his autism - actually became a mirror that helped her recognize the same patterns in herself.
