Description
Priscilla Tollin was born with neurofibromatosis (NF), a neurological disorder that causes tumors to form on nerve tissue and can impact mobility. Priscilla’s physical limitations meant that any hyperactivity she experienced growing up was turned inwards, and her ADHD flew under the radar until finally getting a diagnosis at 32. Once Priscilla understood her ADHD brain, so many pieces of the puzzle fell into place. She was able to address her RSD, to shift her mindset to one of optimism and positivity, and to pursue a career she’s genuinely passionate about. Now, Priscilla is studying pet nutrition and working on starting her own dog treat business. She is also an advocate for neurofibromatosis, disability, and ADHD. During our conversation Priscilla shares her unique experience of having ADHD with no physical outlet, what NF is and the range of ways it can manifest, how self-acceptance led her to create the life she had always imagined, and her helpful advice for ensuring our pets are getting the nutrition they deserve.
