DISCOVERING ADHD Flashcards
How did you realize you had ADHD? what was the process like?
I’m not diagnosed but always having this in mind: On the one hand I want to be part of “normal people” but on the other hand I knew I was different. Negative tag of ADHD (the disruptive ones) In my case it was about not able to focus and be inattentive, especially in high school. I love arts and drawing but I hate numbers, calculate and all the abstract because my brain wasn’t able to see the big picture of the puzzle.
“Can you share the emotions and thoughts that came flooding in when you first understood your ADHD?”
Well when I realized after doing a lot of research of ADHD I didn’t tell anyone of my circle and in fact maybe I have this inattentive profile but I don’t want to use it as an excuse of not achieving my goals. And it’s like a gift because since I’m aware of it I’ve connected with a lot of people who truly care and it’s like a community, like a family
