I have ADHD.

I often meet other people who have it who seem to think it’s a bad thing or feel ashamed of it.

Which i don’t relate to at all because I love being ADHD. It’s my superpower.

I remember getting diagnosed when was like 7 and they couldn’t figure out if I was retarded or a genius. Then the results came back and they were like turns out he’s a retarded genius lol

The key when you have ADHD is to only do things that interest you and not spend a single second doing things that don’t interest you.

Now I know you’re like “but Hodl, as an adult you have to do things that are boring and uninteresting in order to live”

Nope. Not true my friend.

Somebody has to do them, but not you.

I let other people do that shit… wife, business partners, lawyers, accountants etc…

If you have an ADHD brain you have a superpower that others don’t have.

The ability to lock in on something with hyper focus.

Other people don’t have that.

That’s rare.

Don’t give up your rare thing in order to do average boring mundane bullshit.

Let the neurotypical’s handle that.

I see it as a learning difference and not a “disorder”. Our mainstream educational system of forcing kids to sit in desks and focus for hours on end are what make it a “disorder”. There was no major issue on the farm, aside from maybe some occasional forgetfulness. 🤪
