What are some of the positives of ADHD

ADHD into adulthood, while having drawbacks( which I'll try to leave out of this post ) definitely has a bunch of good things to go with it. I'll post a few and I hope others will join in.
!.Great at starting tasks and projects. for some people thats the hardest part.
2.A burning curiosity to know the things that I'm interested in.which leads me to #3
3.The ability to Hyperfocus on the stuff I'm interested in.
What  gifts has ADHD granted you?

Re: What are some of the positives of ADHD

My husband is ADHD and he is like a mad scientist with a wild personality that people are drawn to. It has enhanced our business because people think of him as a rockstar.

He may be flighty but he is lucky in that he also can have great focus when needed so he is able to write great articles and do other things that take focus as long as he is interested in it.

Re: What are some of the positives of ADHD

My sister has ADHD and has many wonderful characteristics = creativity, active imagination, excellent writing skills, incredible wealth of knowledge on many subjects.  I have joined this forum to learn more about what she copes with daily and maybe how I can support her.
