What’s So Great About Having ADHD???
ADHD is almost never been talked about in a positive way. If you’re a sufferer of ADHD, chances are, you’ve spent most of your lifetime learning about how to overcome, cure or even minimize its effect. Brace yourself now because this probably is the first time you read anything positive about ADHD. This article will list out all the positive characteristics of those with ADHD. You may be able to recognize some traits in yourself or your loved ones.
1. Determination
Although staying interested in a project and preventing boredom is a hard task for an ADHDer, if he is interested or invested, there is typically great determination. When armed with drive and the skills/talents/strategies necessary to do so, an ADHDer is bound for success!
2. Hyper-Focus
While it can be frustrating to watch your ADHD child hyper-focus on some things, especially when you are trying to get his attention, this ability is also one that many people without ADHD wish they had. When this trait is put to good use and channeled properly, it enables you to get the job done.
3. Problem
Solving This trait is very much connected to determination and the ability to hyper focus because when this two traits exists, ADHD sufferer will be very persistence at solving a problem at hand.
4. Empathy
People who have ADHD often have the tremendous ability to connect with others. Maybe it’s because they have so many obstacles to overcome that they understand others more easily. Or maybe it’s because they feel things intensely and can intuitively tell how others feels. Whatever it is, they’ve got it.
5. Intuition
People with ADHD seems to have a knack at knowing when help is needed. It is almost that they have a strong intuition. They are then great at helping others and caring for others.
6. Imagination
Ask an ADHD person a “what if” question, and you will see how many ideas he can generate. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the differently wired brain, but they seem to feel freer to express ideas, many of which are “outside the box!”
7. Drama
A person with ADHD is full of drama. This does not seem to be a good compliment for most but it is their ability to laugh at themselves, learn from their mistakes and just not take life too seriously.
8. Creativity
Plenty of people who have ADHD are some of the most creative out there! They have had to learn how to do things differently, and have had to learn how to cope with the differences they have from others. I don’t know if this is the reason they tend to be more creative or not. Combined with their imaginations, you can see how the creativity can blossom.
9. Strength
With all the obstacle they have to go through, it is no wonder that ADHD sufferer possess more strength than any normal people. They have cultivated this trait by becoming more resilient and perseverance when dealing with obstacles.
10. Originality
What can be seen among attention deficit disorder sufferer is that they are usually ones who are not pretentious or hide underneath some other personality. They would usually embrace the world the way they see it and acts upon it according to how they feel.
Given the list of good qualities ADHD sufferer possess, you should be thankful if you are a sufferer of ADHD.
