Kids and adults with ADHD can have a hard time keeping things tidy. That’s true of Jeannie Ferguson, a plus-model in Brooklyn who describes herself as “messy.” Jeannie was diagnosed with ADHD in college, and her wife Tosh also has ADHD.

Jeannie gives Laura a detailed walk through what goes on in her brain when she tries to clean. She also shares what led to her ADHD diagnosis, why as a Black woman she hesitated to get evaluated, and what it’s like when two people with ADHD are married.
