You mean the downsides of your ADHD?
There are a lot of negatives to be sure, but some positives too. It’s a double edged sword. Hyper focus can cause the absorption of lots of information, and the changes in attention can take someone to myriad topics. That can help create connections between areas of knowledge that might not usually mix, aiding in creative problem solving.
I don’t lament my ADHD, I just wish I knew about it earlier, so I could have adapted better.
