manage it. Tyler's brain is different. Unlike his friends, he has a

best artist in his grade, and when he can focus, he gets great
grades. He doesn't want to cause trouble, but sometimes he just
feels like he can't control himself. In Button Pusher, cartoonist
Tyler Page uses his own childhood experiences to explore what it
means to grow up with ADHD. From diagnosis to treatment and beyond,
