The idea for J.J. Super Sloth came when I tried to explain what it was like to have ADHD. So many people view the disorder as something that makes you move really really fast, but, in my experience, I don’t feel like I’m moving fast. I just feel like everyone else is moving slow. I chose an animal known for being slow to show how out of place you can feel when you are not moving like those around you. J.J. learns to control his extra energy and adapt to what he needs in a story told without technical jargon or labels.
