i raised a daughter with adhd   i recognized early on she learned differently than others but she was an avid reader she struggled with completion of virtually everything from homework assignments to cleaning her room  she only had one childhood friend that i recall   when she was old enough to recognize she was different i explained to her that she had a little something extra than typical children that she was quite unique and would always walk to the beat of her own drum we talked about “herd” behavior and that all greatness came from those outside of the herd we talked about the courage it requires to define and follow your own path   she is happily married and raising 3 beautiful girls  2 of their girls also have adhd along with sensory disorders she has championed her children in the school system and they are coming along nicely making asbs  socially they are getting comfortable but still have a way to go the take away from this is to embrace your uniqueness you are 1 of a  kind you have enhanced sensitivities  that typical people don’t understand  stop seeing yourself as having a deficit i see you as “above normal”
