Ms. Namita Nayyar:
In 2016, on Twitter you disclosed your fight against attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and permission to take medication for the same, having applied for and received a Therapeutic Use Exemption. How were you able to come to terms with it and deal with it?
Ms. Simone Biles:
It took me some time to come to terms with my diagnosis, but now I embrace it and no longer see it as a negative. I hope that by being open about my diagnosis, young people recognize that ADHD is not something that will hold them back, but instead something that makes them unique and that they can find a way to manage.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You took all of 2017 off, deciding to resume training in early 2018 and are now back in the National Team. How has the hiatus helped you in making a better, stronger and more powerful comeback? What are your future goals?
Ms. Simone Biles:
Taking the past year off was a great way for my mind and body to recover. I was able to spend quality time with my friends and family, as well as travel. By allowing myself that time to recover, I was able to return to the gym rejuvenated, focused and ready to work harder than ever. I know I have a lot of work to do but I’m excited to be back in the gym and looking forward to returning to competition this summer. That’s my focus right now, we’ll see where it goes from there.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:

Gymnastics aside, I’m a believer in living an active and healthy lifestyle so I encourage all readers to find some time for yourself as even a little exercise every day or week is good for your mind and body! I hope that my story continues to inspire others to dream big and work hard to achieve their biggest goals.
