Some Good Words about ADHD

... Among all of Shankman’s interests, he is perhaps best known for his unusual and very personal take on ADHD. He is convinced that the condition, often considered a hindrance, has helped him, by making him “faster than normal.” ...

I agree with him. I also see ADD as an advantage and believe, that it makes me understand, determine, decide, work, play etc. faster.

When people explain something, I tend to understand it faster than others around me.

The faster the game, the better I get. Actually, a game has to be either slow & relaxing like merge or coloring games, or really fast like the mini-game "Township Sheep Rescue" which was a mini-game of the mobile game Township that I used to play in the past.

I never won anything and was actually quite bad in all the other mini-games like the roller coaster mini-game, which many others won. Then Township published that sheep mini-game which I won 3x while many others complained that it was too fast.

This was when I realized why I am so bad at shooter games or jump-and-run games like Super Mario: Too slow! The time between the jumps or shooting, the time of running, is far "too long" and my brain falls asleep - the faster the game the more awake my brain gets!
