Why We Celebrate ADHD
10 Reasons We Celebrate ADHD
Contrary to those whose perspective of Attention Deficit Disorder and ADHD is pessimistic—and even fatalistic—we enthusiastically celebrate children and adults with ADHD because:
1. They are purposefully wired differently, not deficiently. We work with our nature, not against it.
2. They possess unique, advantageous qualities that enrich society.
3. They are trailblazing innovators, entrepreneurs, artists, musicians, inventors and leaders.
4. Many supposed negative qualities can actually be positive advantages.
5. They will thrive in a future defined by self-directed enterprise and risk-taking.
6. Cultivating their natural gifts, talents and passions restores confidence, purpose and joy.
7. They are idealistic world-changers with large visions.
8. They have giving hearts and find purpose by using their gifts to help others.
9. They possess fortitude to overcome obstacles. We reject the premise that ADHD is synonymous with failure and will not allow anyone to use ADHD as an excuse to fail.
10. They possess the compassion and intuition necessary to enjoy intimate relationships.
