We often spend energy and time focused on the “bad” parts of living with ADHD.
And let’s face it: there can be bad parts—especially when ADHD isn’t well managed. We’ve all been there, when the good parts get buried under the struggles and frustrations.
This week’s episode isn’t about a cheery list of all the gifts of ADHD. That can be counter-productive. Plus, since ADHD hits each of us differently, it just becomes a laundry list.
Not every person with ADHD has the same personality traits, but there are some personal strengths that can make having the condition an advantage, not a drawback.
So today, we talk about a few of our own unique strengths. Why not take some time to think about a few of your own? …and celebrate them with us!
I match up a bit with each of you! I absolutely have many vivid dreams, most nights. I’m seriously calm in an emergency, but I panic afterwards…
