ADHD Drivers are Different
This warranted a post for no other reason than the fact that there are others like me out there who still subscribe to society’s non-ADHD demands and still beat themselves to a pulp trying to be what they’re not….ordinary.
Get over yourself – “ordinary” you’ll never be!
Read this letter to me and appreciate the fact that if you’re an ADD’er like me, you’re different than most and you have a purpose to live your life using your extraordinary gifts. My gift is Hyperfocus which is invaluable in my coaching.
It is our responsibility to get screened because ADD/ADHD can seriously affect our driving!
“Dear Trudi,
You are amazing. But many don’t understand the ADD/ADHD mind.
So you can tell them …
The ADD/ADHD mind is no more than this:
A heroic soul born desperately in need of sensation.
To you … a moment is an eternity; a rule is a tyranny,
a process is a purgatory, a joy is an ecstasy, a daydream is
a vision, a hazard is a playground, silence is suffocation,
and completion is death.
Add to this, brutally expansive spirit, the overwhelming need
to risk, create, and express — so that without the creating
of music or poetry or books or businesses or buildings or
something of meaning, your very breath is cut off …
You must create, must pour out your entire being in
creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency you do
not feel alive unless you are intimately involved in the
risk of self-expression.
Thank you for having the courage to create.
For without your creations
the world would grow dull and listless
And the rest of us who are like you
would not have your courageous act to lean on
to inspire our own.
Rock on,

PS: Yes, Garret really sent me this email. Didn’t think I’d have to prove a point by copying the complete email though.
Hey!! I posted a comment here. Wassup, seems I have to do it again?
Hi JP!
Thanks for commenting.
For some reason Akismet has dumped A LOT of comments made, thinking it is spam. I managed to rescue a few but it does seem like yours was Akistmetted ;o)
