 One of the best things my parents ever did for me was refuse to put me on speed. My adhd made me a bad student but I gave me a great life. Still sucks around tax time though lol 😂 trade offs…

 How did it give you a great life? (serious question) 
 The “H” is the main superpower. 

If I find something interesting or exciting it’s very easy for me to lock in on it for long stretches of time. I’m also able to do a lot of work under tight time constraints. I seem to rise to the occasion in pressure situations where others may falter. I’m very creative and intuitive. Charisma and energy. Good in conversation etc… 

There’s a long list actually. 

But none of these things kick in if my attention isn’t captured. So I can’t turn it on. It just comes on by itself and only for things I’m called towards. 
 I wouldn’t exactly call you charismatic! J/k
