I know being an ADHDer i dont always get positive feedback. Im making this thread for people to recognize what they are strong at and what they do well!
Feel free to mention as much stuff as you want, you are an amazing person

Ill start off:

I'm good at debating
I can do things really well at the last minute

Great idea, Tater!

I am great at putting things together, like baby swings, treadmills, anything like that that requires assembly and figuring out what part goes where.

I am good at being a mother to my 7 yr old son.

Thats all for now, maybe I will give it more thought to see if there are other things.

-A

At work, I've always been told that I'm a very quick thinker and can handle 'curve balls' very well. Within my family, I'm always the one who takes charge and pulls things together when something happens (funerals, weddings, you name it).

I am also very analytical and I can see things immediately that other people miss. I'm a cost accountant, so that's a very good quality to have. Definitely creates some job security.

I am also good at making other people feel better. My friends and co-workers describe me as nurturing and I do enjoy taking care of the people in my life in any way I can. It just feels right to me.

Wow, thanks for creating this thread! If you had posted one for us to list all our flaws or shortcomings, I'd have crashed the site with hundreds of pages.

Most of us with ADD are so hard on ourselves, or at least I know that I am. I tend to never see the good in myself, only the bad. It felt good to mention some of the positive stuff.

I'm good at whipping my bra off without removing my shirt first.


ok, I guess that wasn't the point of your thread.

I'm good at inspiring young people.
I'm good at seeing other people's point of view/empathizing.

I dont know, it works still Eye :)

I'm good at coming up with ideas, thinking outside the box, that sort of thing.
I'm good at seeing the potential pitfalls of a plan.
I'm good at coming up with obscure knowledge when it's needed, or knowing things I'm not required to know. I get "hey, aren't you supposed to be a mechanical engineer?" or "are you sure you're in the right major?" a lot.

LOL I can do that bra trick too

I'm good at debating

Yea you are pretty good at that, if I do say so myself. :D Which reminds me……..
Gotta go check that section out after supper……can’t concentrate on debating with the smell of fried fish!!!

ROFL-----I am sorry……… :p This is sooooooo me.. all I need to figure out is how to do the sports kind-lol!!!!

Changing cloths in a small fast moving vehicles.

Writing letter in a truck going 70mph, I can draw in a fast moving truck too.

I am good at seeing the bottom line.

I know weather or not a mechanical idea is going to work… I can “see” physics so to speak.

I am good doing several things at once.

I also see easier ways of doing things.

I write some pretty good one liners.

Getting to the point.

Being honest even when it is hard.

My specialty is saying what often needs to be said-some time I can be to good at this. :o

Okay Tater supper time is over ..going to see what ya got for me in debates!

whispers...

unhook bra through shirt. one strap out through end of sleeve. then reach under other sleeve and pull entire bra out.

for a sports bra, you'll have to finish by tugging it off over your head.

(don't ask how I know this...just trust me.)

The sports kind without hooks?

Same concept, just harder because they fit so tightly, but yeah, like sunshine said, whips off over the head.

Being honest even when it is hard.

My specialty is saying what often needs to be said- I truly wish I was better at this.

I am good at peaple-pleasing. Maybe I should have been a Cruise Director.

I am good at research and investigation...I can really dig to get to the bottom of something.

I have good intuition...if my intuition is telling me there is something wrong I usually take heed. On the positive side it also tells me when something is good.


I am really good at identifying an idea that has potential and taking it to the next level. I can see all of the possibilities from a global perspective.

That is all I have for now...

I am good at therapy, actually, love digging round this brain of mine.

I am good with reptiles and EXCELLENT with birds, from tiny finches to large parrots.

I am a fair hand at astrology.

I am good at seeing the bizarre humor in situations when they need to be lightened up.

I have been in the past an excellent moderator at 4 different forums.

I can turn an RPG game into an artform, as long as I find it interesting.

I am great at encouraging my spouse, especially when he is convinced he does not deserve encouragement.

I have managed to survive puberty in 2 female children and am currently weathering the third (one is still a tot). I do not know what exactly that makes me good at? But I think it had better count for something!

i'm good at adapting lessons to meet the individual needs of students, even if I already had the lessons mapped out.

I can kinda look into their eyes, and gauge if they're "getting" it or not...and if not, I somehow always manage to instantly find a way that they will understand.

I think I have my adhd to thank for this skill, too.

I'm good at whipping my bra off without removing my shirt first.

I am good at explaining technical things to non-technical people, in a few different ways in case they didn't get it the first time.

I'm good at taking things apart and putting them together.

I'm good at debating in writing, though not generally in verbal form.

I have a good sense of direction, most of the time, and am a very good driver - I think because I have a very good sense of what space my car takes up and where other drivers are around me, and because I can anticipate what other drivers are going to do.

I am good at understanding how to do physical things like yoga or martial arts or dancing.

I am good at counseling friends and helping them get to the root of a problem.

Great topic...nice to read about the good stuff.

I am good at seeing the funny side of things which has a direct baring upon me good at being the strange one that laughs at loud for no apparent reason.

I am good at accepting people they way they are without the preconceived notions. I fail to have any expectation of people beyond honestly being who they are. I told this to a lady who tripped over a chair coming to shake my hand . . . she looked so relieved. I simply do not get the putting people in a box thing I think that is a gift, I would venture to say that is probably a direct result of being ADD.

like many of you, i'm really good at doing things under a looming deadline and lots of pressure.

I find i'm a very good troubleshooter when it comes to electronic gadgets.....computers, vcr's & dvd players, stereo's (car & home). I own my own printer comany (repair inkjet and laser printers, fax machines, small copiers). 90% of the time i can diagnose and repair my own personal collection of junk instead of paying someone to do it or throwing them in the garbage.
