Jessica McCabe, creator of the YouTube channel “How To A.D.H.D.,” is not a doctor or medical professional. At 38, she’s had a variety of professions including stand-up comedian, actor and restaurant server. Explaining that information is something she has done on her YouTube channel since 2016. “Our brains are a piece of equipment we work with every day for everything that we do, so it’s critical to understand it,” she said. She didn’t make the connection between her challenges and her diagnosis but things changed when she was in her twenties and found herself unable to complete college.
