There are tons of good things. ADHD is not a curse, but can be viewed as more of a gift.

For example, all the extra energy of a predominantly hyperactive person can be funneled positively into sports and extracurricular activities, allowing the person to enjoy being active and praised, instead of scolded and forced to sit. Often children and adults with ADHD have a high sense of creativity, especially those who are Predominantly Innatentive. All the daydreams can be transfered into artisitic forms, such as drawings or sculptures - allowing for the person to be able to think of what they want, and keep their hands busy in the process, creating a wonderful piece of artwork.

There are alot of advantages to having this disorder, all it takes is a little encouragement and support.

So many of us are self employed. I like that more than I do a job. I think way faster than my competitors. I also think "outside" of the box and that is an advantage. I can also hyper focus. I also think my sex drive is higher. ALL THESE make it a "good thing"
