When we focus on the perceived deficit of a person while overlooking the amazing gift that offsets it we risk eroding the dignity of the human soul. I have been blessed to be surrounded by as well as being the teacher to geniuses that live under a number of acronyms that dont define them: ADHD, ADD, DOWNS, ASD, OCD, ADD and so on, and so forth.....as for me Im a combo of ADD (Auditory Discrepancy Disorder....i.e. Dyslexia) and ADHD at your service and talented to gills. Some people think Im arrogant when I say that, but when you know you struggle in ways that the majority dont seem to struggle you either learn to become youre own best cheerleader or fall into the trap of believing that your broke. I was never broke. I actually run circles around people who are NORMAL...now theres an acronym for you. People like me are not BROKE we are huge assets on many different levels. Its hard for me to not look at others as lazy and stupid most of the time since my brain is running on five or six different planes at one time and Im able to cognate the better mouse trap at a rapid pace, but holy heck dont ask me to spell silmontanious or dial the right number on some days.
