Are you good at concentrating your attention? Of course you are. That’s something that people with ADHD, Aspergers etc can do better than anybody else.
Concentration is a magic power. Attention is the axis of reality. Yes.
That’s a power that you have naturally. You can do it better than everybody else. And with practice you can get even better. There is no limit.
There were groups of people who dedicated their whole life to seeing how deep they could go with concentration. (and there are other things that you can do with your attention too. Things that are even better than concentration.)
For lack of a better term let’s call these people “wizards”.
Their preferred recruits were people with ADHD, Aspergers etc.
Because people with ADHD, Aspergers etc are very good at concentrating their attention.
This trope that ADHD is somehow a fucking gift needs to die. It’s not. I don’t need it to be who I am and it sure as fucking fuck didn’t help me get ahead in life. It wasn’t the price of being smart, everyone else is my family is smart without having to worry about things I do. Just… No. You’re wrong about this.
I speak from experience. Maybe you speak from an absence of experience? I don’t mean experience with the “affliction”, but experience with going further in concentration too. There’s something amazing there.
How about both? A good side and also a bad side. As things in reality generally are.
I have EDS. I am 31 and haven’t had a day without pain since 2nd grade. It’s made me a tough son of a bitch with a crazy pain tolerance. That’s come in handy, like when I jumped in to save my dog from a stray that attacked him. You can say my pain tolerance is a positive outcome of my degenerative joint condition.
If you came up to me trying to frame my suffering as something I should be chipper about, I’d probably chew you up and spit you in the trash.
This is just blatantly ignorant to anyone with any sense. You’re just being disrespectful and demonstrating that you are disconnected from the reality of the situation.
You aren’t replying to what I actually said. You are taking a ragey tangent.
I’m not raging. I’m perfecly calm. I’m just from NJ haha.
And it’s called an analogy; not a tangent.
