Eileen,
Thank you. You have been able to successfully convey the positive characteristics as well as the negative side effects of having this "condition" called ADHD in just a few paragraphs. I could see myself in everything that you talked about.
Because of so many positive characteristics of my ADHD, I find that by controlling the negative aspects with medication that the positives out way the negatives. Since I have always had this condition (I refuse to acknowledge that it is a disability) I don't know whether I would want to give it up and loose the "edge" that the positive side effects allow me to have over a non ADHD person.
Thank You again for your insightfulness in this subject.
Tom
