Simply put, the ADHD brain is an untapped, nearly limitless source of creative ideas, energy, and passion, much, much more so than a “regular” brain.

It’s not knowing how to use that energy and power that gets us into trouble, causes us to act out in class or zone out in the meeting, or forget to take the trash out, despite the bag sitting by the door for three days in a futile effort to remind us.
