Adhd and add brains would have been the winners on the battlefield. A hyper focus to details and compulsion to dance with your enemy before defeating them.

My son is like this. He reaaaally struggles to do things he doesn't like doing eg his share of household chores. He has always disliked reading. Would hyperventilate and have anxiety whenever homework included reading. It was frustrating for all of us. But when he loves an activity eg Art, he will obsess draw and paint with precision every minute detail. Our relationship greatly improved when I learned how to work around his adhd tendencies. He is a brilliant boy!

My uncle was undiagnosed on the spectrum. They just didn't diagnose back then.

He had incredible ability to memorize numbers, much like Rainman. He was a very precision machine operator. Never missed a day of work in 40!years! In a job that the average worker didn't last a year.

These people are amazing workers if you have the patience to teach them.

when i obsess, then i forget everything else, even hunger and sleep.. until its on edge.

[Cup_TK]

depends on the person. for me i have a endless pit of ambition for only 1-2 things and i obsess.

Adhd, real adhd is a symptom of ptsd studies show more and more. It's a coping mechanism and being busy/animated is a form of self soothing. Being healthy and vibrant in nature is just that.

I think it’s beautiful

I can do five different things at once


My only self work I needed to do
Is TO practice on a dolly basis to LOVE my self unconditionally

No matter what PPL say


Another sentence that helps me
Is

What ppp think about me or say about me does not define who I am

[priyankautharadhi]

My adhd: can manage everyone and their work...cant work on mine ..least interested in myself basically😂

[bryguy-sy]

I have adhd and I had to replay the short because I started thinking about something else half way through

[funkymonkey]

I imagine the hunter gathered with adhd would also hyperfocus would contribute to them becoming the best as well

[BeraNiemczewski]

Yes, we are superhumans. The moment we get my son or daughter ‘diagnosed’, we’re buying them a celebratory cake 🎉🎉🎉

[funktrain]

Until the activity becomes routine or not novel to them anymore. Then they would not want to do that activity whatsoever even knowing it was essential to their survival. They would still avoid it as much as possible.

[MerceditaMallari]

Patience is the key with them, but found them brilliant and hardworking if they enjoy what they are doing .You need a tons of patience dealing with, specially the generation now respect is missing usually when they answer or talking to you, and if they dont like what they’re doing you csnt rely too unfinished nd stopped at all

[kssoton]

Unfortunately we don’t live in a time where hunter gathering is a thing.

[Tonibolognaaintnophony]

So then the word "disorder" needs to be dropped off if they can actually bring order out of disorder. We can all be used in some way for good.

[theplanetruth]

I rebranded my adhd as
Attention Diversified
Highly Developed

[theheadz]

which would be great if we still lived like that. In hyper-structured society though ADHD is a massive issue for people that (actually) have it.

[carylsahadath]

Who knows if ADHD existed in hunter gatherer societies....

[RachaelRedmond]

This is what I’ve been saying for ages ❤

[DrewBrown-kmne]

I FN knew it. All I dream of is building my own place to live and fishing and hunting and gardening for my food.
