Do you view ADD/ADHD as an obstacle or a gift?

For me, it's always an obstale. I can barely focus on one thing for 5 seconds and my dad doesn't believe I have it.

Traditionally it is looked at as an obstacle, especially when traditional schooling is problematic. In the long run I think it is a gift. You are able to look at things from multiple points of view and not get bogged down in one thing. Switching attention allows me to be a open minded person. This is the way I choose to view this.

My adhd can get really bad and I don't know how to handle it. I have 3 younger siblings to babysit everyday and I can't ever focus on them because of home work. It gets frustrating being expected to focus on so much at once.

I view it as a gift

My ADD is like an overweight kid trying to climb a big fence. I am sorry for being inconsiderate, but i cant explain it. I am always in this same rut. Always forgetting or not doing work. I am always distracted on the school issued ipad. I am fully aware what is happening put i dont do anything. I am on Adderall. That make my life even worse because of all the side effect I notice. Life is crappy with ADD. Somedays u wanna just cry, but u cant because too many people judge and u wanna look strong. ADD makes me remember dumb thing like what does WD-40 means. That and remembering and keeping track of dumb dates like when I broke up. I would give up everything to be someone without ADD or Depression. So WD-40 means Water Displacement and the 40th formula.
