My name of the week for it
2 years ago
I’m of the school of thought (typified by Hallowell and other authors) that ADHD is a terrible name. Having a brain like mine involves certain challenges, but it’s not really accurate to call it a disorder. It /feels/ like a disorder right now because i can’t find a career i like, want to follow 30 things at once, etc.
So for the moment, i’m calling it “my active mind.” That sounds like boasting, perhaps, but better a name that makes me feel better about myself than one that makes me feel like shit because i’m “disordered.”
To complete this goal, i will get in a career situation where i don’t feel like my active mind is hurting me.
