![]() ![]() You have talked about everything you went through to have a family and become a mother. ![]() "I find it so empowering to hold these people accountable for what they did to me because they stole my childhood." It's an important thing for people to realize that you can become successful, and you can really focus and do big things in life. When I was a teenager, no one was talking about this. I feel that if you harness it in the right way, so much is possible. I really attribute that to my ADHD because I see it as a superpower. In my career, I've always been ahead of my time, thinking outside the box and being an innovator and doing things and taking these risks. I feel that there's such a stigma behind it, and a lot of people aren't aware of so many good things about it. What was your experience like finally getting that diagnosis, and what do other people need to know so that they can recognize it and live with it? Y ou say it's your "superpower." ADHD is so often misdiagnosed, especially for girls and women. You start early on in the book by describing what it feels like to have ADHD. The following interview has been lightly edited for clarity and length. Watch Hilton on "Salon Talks" here or read our conversation below. Hilton, who recently welcomed her first child, joined me on a recent episode of "Salon Talks." In the candid conversation, we discussed why Hilton says ADHD is her "superpower" secret of success, why she's speaking out about her deepest traumas and her ongoing campaign to make the "troubled teen" industry a thing of the past. Hilton's " Paris: The Memoir" is the best book since Jennette McCurdy's "I'm Glad My Mom Died" to explore the dark side of growing up in the spotlight and building an authentic life from the ashes of an unorthodox youth. If, like the rest of us, you couldn't begin to imagine just how much was going on underneath that Von Dutch hat, let the pioneering influencer take you by surprise. If you predicted back in the velour hoodied early aughts that Paris Hilton would one day write a moving, brave and often very funny account of her life and of the era, congratulations, your day has arrived. ![]()
