Embracing neurodivergent brilliance

If you're living with ADHD, you're well aware of the distinct nature of your brain and the lack of understanding from others. Even those who have made an effort to educate themselves on the topic often fall short in truly comprehending the intricacies. I've personally encountered situations where colleagues expressed surprise upon learning that I read books, assuming that ADHD meant I couldn't retain any information and therefore reading was pointless.

However, the differences extend far beyond mere disorganization and forgetfulness of tasks and appointments. The ability to navigate seamlessly between various subjects and back again can be perplexing to many. I've often been labeled as a scatterbrain, but the reality is that my thoughts are well-intact, capable of effortlessly traversing a spectrum of ideas and landing precisely where needed to grasp complex concepts. Numerous individuals struggle with cognitive processes such as cross-domain thinking, nuanced understanding, analogical reasoning, and understanding context.

ADHD presents its challenges, but it is a condition that can be effectively managed. For me, the greatest obstacle lies in the constant judgment from others and their insistence that I conform to their way of doing things, adhering to their preferred order and disregarding the need for accommodations.
