Panic! at the Disco's Brendon Urie Describes How Childhood ADHD Changed His Life
Lately Alternative Press has been hosting a Musicians Institute Conversations series where Senior Editor Ryan J. Downey sits down with a star from the scene (usually folks who've graced the cover of the pop-punk magazine) and hosts a Q&A. In the latest installment, Panic! at the Disco frontman/last original remaining member Brendon Urie fields a question from the audience about his ADHD, a certain mental difference he's been living with since childhood:
"From the time I was in school until I was about 13, teachers didn't know what was wrong with me. About every week teachers would call in my mom, who is the sweetest person in the world and always backed me. They would call her in and be like, 'How much sugar do you give your child? We can't contain him. He is rambunctious. His behavior is insubordinate. He's terrible. He's making everyone laugh while I'm trying to teach them.'"
