&gt; - The concensus among the research community is that ADHD is all negative. Measurably negative among all axes, especially when comparing people when on treatment and when not on it (drugs).<p>I disagree. I love my brain, it makes certain parts of life hard, but my hyperfocus and way of thinking about things that interest me are just <i>so</i> wonderful.<p>My life is at constant risk of screwing up but I&#x27;m really happy as a person.
