Uh, yeah, for ME personally, it’s a problem. It’s several problems……….
I’m a risk when I’m driving in heavy or slow traffic. I go REALLY fast, that’s risky, and not legal.
I’m a risk to myself and others when I “forget” safety.
I do things at work that risk my employment.
I say things at times without thinking – could risk employer’s reputation, etc.
I over-eat – that’s a risk to my health.
When you live in a society, there are rules that are needed to support the “good of the many” – like Spock said – the needs of the many outweighs the needs of the few. I understand that. It’s ok with me.
When you work for the gov’t there are ways you REALLY need to do things for many good reasons – I tend to want to bypass those at times. Could bring in legal action, so I must be really careful. I understand that – even if I don’t always like or remember it.
I wasted a LOT of time! I could be SO accomplished at HOME and at WORK………… so I waste money and time in both. That’s a problem for me, my family and my employer.
Otherwise, I get my job done – might be a bit “different” at times, but I get it done, well, quickly, and sometimes, very cleverly.
But is my ADHD really a problem? Yeah. It can be. Not always, but it can be. I still like and respect myself, and know some day, I stand a chance of improving, looking forward to that.
