Ya know, thanks, Bill!
As an ADHD and the impulse I have to sharpen the pencil just a little more. It “is” in “my” experience a double edged sword. In spite and since my diagnosis. It always has and will be a struggle to feel that “acceptance” or sense of belonging. How to explain? A punk rocker dies their hair multi-coloured to stand apart from society. Yet they join in groups to be accepted. We’re different without the later option and we didn’t have a choice.
Yes! Absolutely I get the faster mind to compensate for physical abnormalities. One could toss a ball at someone. Instinctively they react with just “one” option without thought. Catch the ball or get out of the way. It’s like fight or flight. In that same instant someone like myself sees “5” options. Then a split second of confusion and I just took a softball upside the head. Now! So how do I collect my prize?
I have trouble accepting some of the things others might see as gifts. Because part of receiving a gift is sharing that gift. In attempt to bring my point full circle. It’s what we need to go through “for” that gift. It’s not so much a gift if I worked for it!
And just to demonstrate what I mean………..
