Adults with ADD have spent much of their lives being reminded of the what is wrong with them. For years they may have been corrected for being forgetful or for not paying attention. It is time to celebrate the wonders and greatness in adults with ADD. As a tribute, I completed an informal survey (50 ADDults were asked what is their favorite ADD trait).

The following were the top 10 answers.

Endless Energy

Hyperfocus

Energy and hyperfocus combined

Great Imagination

Creativity

Humor

Ahead of “establishment” thinking

Creative thinking, problem solving

Spontaneity

Great passion for interests

History has shown us how much those with ADD can accomplish. Many figures we see as great achievers are thought to have exhibited symptoms of ADD. For example, Albert Einstein, Mozart, Beethoven, John F Kennedy, Winston Churchill, and Walt Disney. So enjoy and be proud of who you are!!!

Where would the world be today without the positive traits of ADHD? I'm happy to see an article pointing out the good things about it.

Thanks for the reminder. We all need to be reminded of our good qualities especially on a day when we are really frustrated. #22valentineTY# #33exactly#
