I just wanted to talk about the positive sides to ADHD asthere is a lot of info around this subject but not much of it is positive. I have ADHD I run my own coaching and training Practise. When a person is diagnosed with ADHD it does not have to mean the end of your lifes dreams it jsut means that you now have answers to some of the questions you may have had around curtain behaviours that you exhibited. Turning your ADHD into a positve way of life is not easy BUT it is NOT impossible either. Many of our great man and woman past and present have shown signs of having ADHD and with out the likes of
Jim Carrey Danny Glover Steve & Chad McQueen Thomas Jefferson Thomas A. Edison Michael Jordan Carl Lewis John D. Rockefeller Dwight D. Eisenhower Bill Clinton The Wright brothers George Bernard Shaw Benjamin Franklin Ernest Hemingway Napoleon George Patton Alfred Hitchcock Lewis Carroll Hans Christian Anderson Charlotte/Emily Bronte Handel Mozart Edgar Allan Poe These are but a few to see more please click here : http://addsuccess.co.uk/main/FamousPeopleWithADHD.asp With out these wonderful people the world would not be as advanced as it is now and we would be still stuck in the dark ages. So be proud of your ADHD and remembe learn to take charge of it and you will succeed. lET ME KNOW YOUR VIEWS Posted on 07/11/08, 12:07 pm |

I'm always glad to see a post of encouragement about having ADD/ADHD. I myself don't see my ADD as bad. There's a good book I found "The 5 Gifts of ADHD". I recommend it.

I think it is all about working with what you've got and finding ways and people to profit from it...I've been reading the book "Delivered from Distraction" and find it to be very valuable...
I work as a designer for instance, and when I can't focus I sit in meetings and sketch away...

It is really good to see someone talking about the positive side of ADHD. I believe that the creativity that I have and a beyond normal ability to multi task, (remember I am a woman) is so useful. So what if I can talk for England and probably America and drive some people mad but I am really nice so it makes up for it at least I hope so.
