My 6 yo loves all the series by Dav Pilkey and I have seen him refer to ADHD as a superpower quite often. I spend a lot of time talking to my kid about how our brains work differently than other people, but I don’t like the toxic positivity either. It IS hard to make connections that other people don’t follow. I have never been able to listen to music with lyrics while writing or working in any capacity but I always loved Hans Zimmer’s scores and the Pride and Prejudice score music was my favorite in college.

I was supposed to go talk to my grad school professor about how I would get paralyzed when I was overwhelmed, and I never did. Even though I had good grades, they were annoyed that I didn’t seem “emotionally mature.” Turns out I think it was an ADHD thing all along.
