Good Things About Being ADHD

We:

• Are highly motivated, persistent, and stimulated by many of the intellectual challenges, which are beyond the average person.
• Can be spontaneous, imaginative, creative, a little eccentric and able to express ourselves in the most unique ways.
• Make great scientists, artists, actors and entrepreneurs.
• Are often bursting with high energy and able to meet and beat challenges with zeal.
• Become stimulated by intrigue and inspired by the novelty involved in change.
• Can be keen observers, with an ability to find quick solutions to situations many mere mortals find complicated.
• Are very resourceful, and can devise ingenious means of accomplishing things.
• Think laterally and solve problems in very distinctive ways.
• Can juggle many balls in the air at once, and think about lots of different things at the same time.
• Are humorous, often with a keen wit and an ability or talent to make others laugh too.
• Can be extremely diligent with a never-say-die approach to life's problems.
• Are not afraid to take risks, often seeing risk-taking as a form of stimulation.

And our children, can be kind, thoughtful and often enjoy doing things for other people.
