I don’t know how old you are, but these laser pointers, and the assorted different projection pattern caps, where the bee’s knees when I was a kid.

I hate everything about it

You’re clearly not reading what I’m writing, so I’ll try being more clear.

The behavior ADHD brings out actually has the potential to be a benefit. Whether or not it is for the individual is dependent on a lot of other factors, much of it during upbringing. I already stated this, I’m fully aware of it being a problem more often than not. But the potential for it to be a benefit is absolutely there. Being blind has no potential to be an actual benefit for you…ever.

This is only true under the assumption that ADHD is only to the detriment of the person. I don’t believe that to be true at all. Unlike e.g. missing a leg or being blind, which don’t really give any benefits at all, many people with ADHD are also very successful because it to drives them somewhere and makes them act because they simply have to.

There are still people with (varying degrees of) ADHD that are both normally successful or wildly successful. They did this likely not despite their ADHD but because of it. They probably grew up in an environment that allowed them to find a positive outlet for themselves so they achieved behavioral patterns that utilized it to drive them forward instead of it getting in the way.

I mean…ADHD or not, your life is generally in your own hands, both successes and failures are your “fault”. The ADHD doesn’t take the responsibility, it only adds context.
