Fantastic. I’m a pastor and cross-cultural peacebuilding and development worker. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was young but my parents resisted medication. They instead helped me to focus on sports and fostered other personal passions.

I’ve learned to manage my distractability with strict scheduling and daily exercise. And very so thankful for the capacity to hyperfocus and creative finish projects in short spurts.

I hope the body of research on the positive side of the ADHD brain and person steadily grows.
