I have it and it is absolute gift that I wouldn’t trade for anything. It has taken years to figure how to harness it though.

It's a gift until it's a curse, and ADHD crashout/burnout is an absolute monster to overcome when it arrives.

And for any person who's tasked with any sort of responsibility, it WILL arrive at some point. It's not a question of if, only a question of how well you can prepare for its arrival.

Look, I’ve got it too. I’m glad we’ve figured out how to “game” the adhd. But it’s not a gift.

i have it too and it sucks, I have to take medicine every day for it. Why would an attention deficit and hyperactivity be a gift? Maybe you're talking about something else.

Can you explain what about is it a gift? What are the benefits you get from it?
