Steve Wesley makes videos about ADHD to create a legacy for his family. As a single dad with ADHD, he worries he’s not doing enough to support his two sons with ADHD. He hopes the videos will serve as proof one day that he really was trying.
Steve’s late wife was “the calendar” of the family. She kept everything on track. When she died, it was up to Steve to manage everything and teach his sons the executive function skills that he struggles with so much himself.
Join this emotional conversation between Steve and host Laura Key about parenting and coping with death with ADHD.
