The Positive Side of ADHD

By Eileen Bailey, Health Guide Sunday, May 04, 2008

 

In addition to the main symptoms, some other positive traits of ADD/ADHD are included below.  Several years ago, I took an informal survey of 50 adults, asking what their favorite ADD/ADHD characteristic was.  Their top ten answers are as follows (in no particular order):

 

  • Endless Energy
  • Hyperfocus
  • Energy and hyperfocus combined
  • Great imagination
  • Creativity
  • Humor
  • Ahead of "establishment" thinking
  • Creative thinking and problem solving
  • Spontaneity
  • Great passion for interests

 

So go ahead, enjoy your life, enjoy your ADHD and live life to it's fullest.
