Paris Hilton penned a personal essay for Teen Vogue in 2024 about how her ADHD symptoms resulted in her being sent to a troubled teen facility as a child.
"Growing up, I was always told that I was too energetic, too distracted, too talkative — just too everything," Hilton began the essay. Because her school could not accommodate her "constant need" for stimulation, she was enrolled in Provo Canyon School, where she was subjected to severe abuse.
"I wish someone had asked, 'What’s really going on with her?' Instead, I spent years feeling misunderstood, punished for the way my brain worked," she continued. It wasn't until adulthood that she found the beauty in her diagnosis, which she called a "superpower."
"ADHD is the reason I’ve been able to anticipate trends, it’s given me the creativity to build an empire, the drive to keep pushing the limits, and the empathy to connect with people on a deeper level," Hilton explained.
