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

[billd]

caper – I’d like to know a positive – what has ADHD done FOR me? how has it made my life more stable, allowed me to progress, keep a great job, not offend folks?

What has it added to my skills – keeping in mind ADHD didn’t give me an IQ of 130, but it DOES prevent me from using it well…..

I’m a great troubleshooter and champion auto-tech – how has ADHD aided in that?

I guess i fail to see positives. It’s certainly no gift – it has led to nothing but trouble for our family and my youngest son who I’ll never see again.

librarian – do you come up with ideas because of, or in spite of?

I have great ideas but can’t get them out – and if I do, few listen thanks to ADHD.

I suspect I’d have the ideas regardless – how did ADHD put them there?
