Carrie,

Great post… Yes I too have gone through the denial thing as well. I had been trained by those around me that I was “Lazy and Stupid” (Mostly due to their lack of education/knowledge). There were many things I was good at but I have/had many faults/short commings as well that I was often chastised for (mostly impulsive stuff) as I was either borred or not possitively directed to execute completely through things as my brain was often 10 steps ahead or 10 steps behind.

When it comes to what I consider boring and mundain tasks FORGET IT I am lost ……… Ask me to solve world hunger, fair health care for all for all …….. NO PROBLEM I will get right on it……… … I excell when I have administrators around me that hold the reins but still allow for my creativity (To be honest it often requires very strong willed and understanding persons and persons that show calmness in times of stress)……. Sadly it is often difficult for others around me as they do not understand my creative mind as they have a tough time seeing beyond the horizon where I see not only the shores of the distant continent I see around the world.

Which is worse…….. complete boredom and total conformity and stagnation keeping the status quo where we often fall backwards as a society due to the needs and desires of the privilaged or a society that could benefit by foward thinking persons that can reign in the negative aspects of ADHD by the many systems (hollistic) available to help clarify the disaray we as ADHD persons sucumb to. As a person with ADHD I vote for the latter….
