Re: Is there really “nothing positive” about ADD?

[billd]

I’d say being a 1 or 3 person depends on the lot you drew – the luck you had getting that right job where the ADHD actually worked or was understood.

I’d submit, however, that that is not the majority. It’s a bit of luck.

I also agree that perhaps many ADHD people are self-employed as they had little choice – couldn’t get or keep a job, what else is there?

If you REALLY have ADHD – how do you get things done, on time, and stay motivated? That’s rather counter, isn’t it?

I’ve owned businesses – doesn’t last long as the fun soon leaves and you get buried.

Some have owned business and been LUCKY enough to have others manage it (or them) however, after going through 4 managers……… well….

I’m creative enough, have the energy (usually) and WANT it to happen, just could never get around to making it happen.

I submit that some who insist still that it’s a gift got lucky in their location, job, or other circumstances, extraordinary.

I’m still looking for the positive part that can be PROVEN would no longer be there if ADHD suddenly disappeared.

I might however say – 2 but maybe a bit of 3 from time to time if circumstances allow my ADHD to be used and not judged.
