Very cool fiction representation of ADHD in a girl

Theo Waitley, the protagonist of the Sharon Lee and Steve Miller’s new novel, Fledgling, is clearly someone with attention issues. How the authors deal with it is fairly realistic, and it is a very empowering story for those of us who have felt this way. In this story, the ADHD-like conditions Theo has demonstrated are actually an outgrowth of her genetics: she comes from a family of fast-reaction-time spaceship pilots.

Fledgling is a coming-of-age story. I hope you enjoy it and the podcast, as I am involved with reading the story for the podcast.
