Not sure if it's worth the price of having ADHD over being just a normal kid with out the struggles,but here's my perspective on the good side of ADHD that I have observed in my son's life. He is super smart. In second grade (now in fifth) he was at a 4th grade reading level. He maintains honor roll most of the time. He is a math wiz. He is very creative and has a big dream of becoming a meteorologist or scientist. He has a big heart. He will probably never run out of energy. He is very athletic, he loves to do anything that has wheels on it skateboard, bike, scooter, and skates. He will probably never have a problem with being over weight since he runs off literally anything he eats. I think it is important to remind ourselves as parents of children w/ ADHD that our kids aren't all bad as the schools may have us believe, and that we love them unconditionally and they will never allow us to fall short of an uneventful day. My boy will always test me and my nerves. The school will never leave me alone about him but in essence of all of this when I look back at some of the things he's done, the good, the bad and the silly I find some of it pretty funny after the fact ( although I will never let him know it). Things may not seem too funny at the time but years later you will remember the time your kid did something and just ponder on it. What was he thinking, what did he think he was going to acomplish in doing that? Kids are so crazey, and when you add ADHD to the equation its a never ending saga. What funny stories can you all share that your kids have done that just seem funny now but wasn't then. What's the worst stunt they have pulled that made you laugh "on the inside".
