Did anyone else with ADHD grow up relating to Alex Russo

Alex Appreciation

Personally I have ADHD and growing up, Alex was one of the few Disney Channel characters I could relate to. That's one of the reasons why she's one of my favorite Disney protagonists

I’m autistic and kinda feel the same way about her.. I have issues feeling empathetic towards other people in tough situations and Alex seems to have difficulty with that as well

Well, I can say that in middle school she helped me come out of my shell a little bit. I'd stutter and get nervous, but if I tried to talk as confidently (or sometimes sarcastic) as her, I got out of my shell slowly more and more.

What aspects of ADHD did she have? I love and relate to her character, but haven't been diagnosed with ADHD and am curious if I might have it and not realize it.

shes impulsive, has emotional dysregulation, impatient, procrastinates a lot, comes off as unmotivated, gets easily distracted, has trouble in school, etc.
