Jake Peralta has ADHD

I absolutely love Brooklyn 99. One of the things I love most about it is that Jake Peralta, one of the central characters, has ADHD. A fictional representation can make a big difference and I wanted to talk about what ADHD traits I see in him and why the representation matters. 


Here's my original blog post on the topic. This video uses most of the same script, so if you're hearing-impaired this may help! I will be working on getting captions on this video as soon as possible as well! https://secretladyspider.wordpress.com/2019/05/03/how-jake-peralta-represents-adhd-for-many-neurodivergent-fans-and-why-it-matters/
