There are several! Creativity, curiosity, mental flexibility--we think differently and are great at solving problems. That can be very useful in a crisis or high-stress situation. Many of us are creatives, tinkerers, entrepreneurs (start a business and then sell it to someone else when you're done hyperfocusing on it haha) but we're also great when the world is "on fire" as emergency medical personnel, restaurant managers, salespeople etc. When we "seek to understand" we can be great leaders, managers, and problem-solvers.
If you like reading, check out The ADHD Advantage, by Dale Archer, MD. link to Amazon I also have spent a lot of time feeling the way you're feeling. ADHD has a lot of downsides, but I feel like this book does a good job of explaining how we can use our disorder to our advantage. It talks about several CEOs and celebrities who have used their disorder to their advantage. Check out the audio book!
For self help, I'd suggest a YouTube channel called How to ADHD and also this book helped me change my perspective about our ability(not disorder)
Exactly. There is a great book called "The ADHD Advantage", https://www.amazon.com/ADHD-Advantage-Diagnosis-Greatest-Strength/dp/0399573453. And I back that but you can't say that it doesn't get a bit ridiculous on this /r. Either way, fight on boys.
There is an amazing book about this very topic called "The ADHD Advantage" : https://www.amazon.com/ADHD-Advantage-Diagnosis-Greatest-Strength/dp/0399573453
Its common because if u do the 16p test, the things that make u an entp on big 5 have a correlation with the things that make u have adhd,yet that doesnt mean u need to be booth u can be entp without having adhd,and u can be ahd without being Entp, and also u can be Entp and have adhd.
