Amy Liz Harrison is the author of three books, the mother of eight kids, and she was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. “Getting a diagnosis, it was a freeing, for me it was a very liberating feeling," Harrison said. She described growing up feeling like there was something wrong with her, and like she was less than her peers; feelings that she carried with her into adulthood. Through her diagnosis, she was able to gain the tools to take control of her own mental health. Harrison speaks to KING 5 about her journey and her new book, Eternally Awkward, which covers it all.
