Today’s episode is with comedian Maria Williams, and I must admit, I did have a moment where I cried with laughter while editing this episode! Maria is also a teacher, and lives with a diagnosis of ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
In this episode, Maria shares the journey of her ADHD diagnosis, from a diagnosis in Hawai’i that she was convinced was a misdiagnosis to an eventual diagnosis at age 32. She also shares her symptoms and how she manages them, her frustrations in why it took so long, and leaves us all with some advice.
Maria also talks about why she’s so passionate about spreading awareness, and gives us a bit of an insight into her upcoming comedy shows!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
