ADHD as a Difference, Not a Disorder
ADHD is viewed differently depending on the perspective. Some see it as a disability while others label it as a superpower. However, the speaker believes that ADHD is neither of those things. It is a difference that can be advantageous in the right circumstances. While there are challenges associated with ADHD, such as difficulties in certain areas, it also provides unique tools for creativity, intuition, and risk-taking, which are valuable in running a business. Society's perception of ADHD and the emphasis on success can be problematic, as it may lead individuals to set goals that do not align with their strengths and interests. Instead, embracing one's strengths and focusing on personal fulfillment can lead to a more fulfilling life for those with ADHD.
