Driver.
Are we almost there? Goal! Right after that, I snapped his headphones.
Did your parents react? They stay out of it.
They don't really give a shit.
Eager Anna.
Thank you.
Um, I just wanted to say that what you all are going through is intense but wonderful.
Kudos.
For me, I have a hamster, and my Dad got it for me.
Its name is Daddy 'cause I named it that, and I love it.
Couldn't help but feel like maybe my Dad is just trying to sweeten me up by getting me the pet because he wants me to live with him, not with my mom.
Yeah, wow, y-you don't have any problems opening up and sharing, do you? You remind me of my mailman.
Thank you.
Um, and actually just going between the two places my mom's place and my dad's place it's hard, and my mom is, like, always late.
Always.
And my Dad is grumpier.
And he didn't get the house, and I'm just like, if he doesn't get me, too, I don't know what he's gonna do.
You talk like you're 40, kind of.
Thank you.
And that's actually a good thing, because most people don't reach their full potential until they're at least 38.
Oh, my goodness, it's time for us to wrap it up.
Thank you for opening up and sharing, everyone.
Get all your stuff.
Don't forget your shoes.
Oh, it's just my shoes.
Remember to breathe.
Ciao! - Thanks, Tina.
- See ya.
What's up? Hey.
So, uh, you seeing the world through rose-colored lenses now? No, seriously, I don't get what the point of it is 'cause, like, they just listen and they, like, don't give you advice, you know? Yeah.
Yeah.
Basically, we diagnose based on a spectrum, and Maya happens to be a little bit above average on that spectrum.
Maya, do you have trouble focusing? No, I'm actually really smart.
Oh, I know you're very smart.
That's not the issue.
Attention Deficit Disorder is actually quite common, and many of our patients have found success taking methylphenidate hydrochloride.
Medication for this? It is a stimulant, but it actually has the opposite effect on kids who have ADD.
It helps them focus.
Maya, then you just better pay more attention.
- I do.
- That's all this is.
- Stop.
Stop.
- No.
You know, Maya is jumping off the walls like crazy.
And I love that about you, darling, I do.
But not at school.
And with every medication, there are some side effects.
Most commonly, increased heart rate.
But the benefits do outweigh any discomfort.
No, I don't wanna take the medicine if it's gonna speed up my heart.
Once you acknowledge the problem, she can have extra time on tests and other assistance that can help Maya improve her scores.
Extended time on testing? Yeah, as much time as you need.
We'll talk about it at home.
I think I wanna take the medicine.
- No.
- We'll talk about it.
Mom, I wanna take it! Oh.
Stop.
Stop.
Maya uh, how do you feel about fluorescent lights? I don't feel good about fluorescent lights.
Anna.

- Hi, Maya.
Sorry, she doesn't wanna speak right now.
So um, but for me, I'll just say that, um, I'm afraid that my Dad is really mad at me right now.
And that's because I told him that I wanted to live with my mom.
And I told him over the phone.
And I could tell by just the tone of his voice that he was really, really sad.
I don't want to disappoint him, but I told him that my mom needs me right now 'cause my Grammy just passed.
I'm just really worried about him.
Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss.
