Allright spill all the good stuff ADD or ADHD has ever gotten you / allows you to have about yourself.


let me start:

1. I'm very talkative - helps socially
2. Good at multitasking
3. im considered as a person that "knows how to have fun" because of the impulsiveness/spontanousness of adhd
4."daring"/ try new things (again the impulsiveness)
5. not boring to be around (altho i get bored of others easily lol)
6. try a lot of things (always looking for the next big thing never being satisfied) this has let me discover great things
7. i'm "me"..i stick out. people always feel they connect to me / know me/ can see exactly how i feel.. (can be taken as a good or bad thing)

I "serectley" nicknamed "nonadders"..."the mundanes"

Haveing Add keeps me away from "being mundane" as a result, people like me! I mean, this mourning I was singing "I am a dinosour" in the shower and grinning like a bafoon on a ship sailing on the mounten dew sea!

Sure, its hard getting started, but when a situwation finally has me pinned I just BLAZE!~through~! Unstopable, all of the sudden its compleatley normal and easy to talk to three people on my development team, two people getting them ready for confrence next month, my facilitator, and eat a muffin at the same time and never skip a beat!

and I don't want to put any more energy into this post so I'm gonna skip over and find another, I hope you don't mind alltough I am rather happy you started this post, Im a advicate of "positive ADDNESS"

Are you on meds? If so, do you consider them adding to your health?

"nonadders"..."the mundanes"


Bob Geldof and his Boom town rats

All the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys awhile
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
-<- Mundanes
from.ADDF :: Spacemania
TGIFriedbrains ->-
That the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles
And the captain tackles
With the problems and the how's and why's
And he can see no reasons
Cos there are no reasons
What reasons do you need to die

Tell me why - I don't like mundanes
Tell me why
- I don't like mundanes
Tell me why -?- I don't like mundanes ... ...
Tell me why -?-no problem St. Bob
(and just as ADDF :: Vhan writes -
- ADD is all about attaining stimulation -
the lyrics from the song are a switch from the tedious learning environment of 'school' -
~by power of mind alone~
- into the profoundly more stimulating imaginary but real/ityscape of {pirates,faeries and gorgons}

->-

'broach the boredom threshold and we learn -
the threshold rises as we get better -
rises with each generation which passes -
our kids are better than we are
they teach if we permit
- and we learn
... ... ... and they learn

(the kids get even better)
Yay !!! '

Teaching
-~ the secret ~-
->-
reciprocity.

... .. because ADDers don't do boring and ADD and nonADD represent two patterns (modalities) of thought -
- nonADD giving way to (being followed by) the ADD style
(ADD is ... ... ...
an evolutionary progression following on from the
single thread
-or-
one linear process of conscious awareness
of nonADD)
- nonADD giving way to (being followed by) the ADD style
with ->- ~appropriate~ feeding with good
(and not pointless.-.boring parrot.-.rote learning
parrot.-.forgot
because parrot.-.never.-.understood
->-
not so 'pretty polly'
-<- Ahhh! 'Yes Sir
- that'd be a hard.-.deadeningly dull dead.-.hard parrot')
education.

and so

hmmm... ... ... contraversial
