Advantages of ADHD

Hey guys,

I've been an ADHD sufferer since I was a kid. As I've learned about handling its issues, I've also come to realize that it gives me some distinct strengths. It took me writing it in my blog post this past week to fully comprehend how subconsciously many ADHD sufferers learn to play to the strengths and put themselves in environments and professions where it fits best. Like entrepreneurship.

I also learned that I should be a lot more involved in the ADHD community, hence my joining this site. I'd love your feedback on my post and on the strengths you (or your children) get from the condition.

Joel
