....and thats ok!!

my mind is my best friend...my adhd mind!

it knows things before even I know them ...it knows everything...how awesome.

sure it does not fit and how can it?

imagine if the world was full of apparently irrational seemingly insane individuals who are gifted fast thinking eccentric adventurous mental giants!!

I would hide! how can we hide from ourselves gentle magnificent audacious unstoppable creative energetic mad people?

it's US that make technology and advances in ...ESPECIALLY the metaphysical world.!

who else spends so much damn time in there heads...embrace the madness...embrace the alternative that it aint mad!

give yourself a chance....you ..I ...we are distracted for a reason...there is another world in parallel for the adhd...and it hurts a bit at first but it's worthwhile and fun even.

rock the world people with uniquely separated attention.

as my mate Ron at (profound self help ) he says...the world is the dis-order.

yep

I think that is a very healthy attitude to adapt doublemonkey. I think that the labels that are given to the differences that people experience in their brains should not be considered as debilitating but as just describing a challenge. People all over the world are all different. Some people are tall, some are short, some have brown skin, some white, different eye colors, hair colors, features etc. It is clear that in many ways we are unique.

My daughter has dislexia, and what that means is that her brain learns differently, and because I was able to identify that when she was young, I got to help her learn how to learn in whatever way her brain could learn. My daughter has always had a high IQ and excelled in her abilities to comprehend. Yes, she had to learn things differently, but she did do well and is now working and achieving on a high level.

I feel the biggest difficulty she had was that because she had a label, other children used that label to taunt her and hurt her. It did bother her, but didn't stop her from learning as I did show her support with her learning as did the teachers that were made aware of how she did learn and process information differently. She has things she can't do and things she can do, just like everyone.

I think that one of our biggest hurdles in learning that we have what is called a disorder, is not allowing ourselves to feed into the difficulties of the disorder but to, instead, learn about what it means and how we can achieve inspite of what it means.

If I am too short to reach my higher shelves in my kitchen cabinets, I can't just stand there and cry about it, the reasonable thing to do is just have a step stool handy. My pelvis is not quite shaped normal, so I have a shorter stride. For years people picked on me and kept telling me I needed to walk faster, and it did upset me, and when I did have to pick up my pace, I ended up with planters faceitus in my feet. So, big deal, I don't have a big stride. The upside is that a lot of people did like the way I was shaped on the outside because I had nice hips.

We are all different and it is ok, we just have to learn about whatever it is we have and know that it is ok and we can learn to work around it.
