ADHD Positives?

Absolutely!  People with ADHD are highly intuitive, picking up on things that others might miss.  Thinking differently, and making non-obvious connections, brings creativity and an ability to quickly capture the essence of a problem.  Other strengths include:

| curiosity | humour | empathy | imaginative story-telling | outstanding sales skills | charisma | entrepreneurial mindset | belief that anything is possible | spontaneity | hyper-focus | passion | compassion | ingenuity | great in a crisis | strong sense of right & wrong | a different perspective | rapid learning | high energy | multi-tasking | resilience | …

For each trait that causes problems, there can be benefits too, with the right support, role models, mentors and mind-set.  In many ways, ADHD can be considered a competitive advantage!
