ADD blessings?!
I have addressed some of the benefits of growing into adulthood with ADD symptoms. These benefits can be looked at as either the adaptive responses that an individual develops in response to a handicap or inherent benefits of the neuropsychological organization we collectively refer to as ADD. At times it is impossible to tell the two apart, and they can complement or detract from each other.
Some of these tendencies include adaptability, empathy, tolerance of others, creativity, openness to new information from an unexpected sources, and passion for life. Just think about our ancestors as they migrated to new places on the planet searching for better and more novel opportunities: Were they running away from teachers and bosses who thought they were management problems or too impulsive?!
