It is often trial and error and trying to find a way in an ever faster and crazier society. But could it be possible that ADD \/ ADHD is not a disorder or disease at all? <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-_784286-16\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\" style=\"height:15px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Complaints due to ADD \/ ADHD in today's society<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: var(--global-body-font-family);\">That ADD \/ ADHD brings with it unpleasant symptoms is a given for many. But in many cases, might this not also be due to demanding <\/span><a style=\"font-family: var(--global-body-font-family);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/adhd-add-and-society\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-schema-attribute=\"\">society<\/a><span style=\"font-family: var(--global-body-font-family);\"> where we have to run with it and where we become increasingly distant from ourselves? Could it perhaps be that this way of life is simply not meant for many people? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, we have to fit into a picture and not be troublesome, so we will have to adapt and learn to deal with all the very things that make things difficult for us. We should not think too much differently and thinking for ourselves is not exactly appreciated either. On the contrary, we should <strong>adopt rules and beliefs as truth<\/strong> so that a society is easily governed and <strong>keeps control over the people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of places in the world where they have never heard of ADD and ADHD. So what about the science? Actually, very little is known about that. It has been shown that the brain functions differently, but not actually that it is a disorder. AD(H)D can only be measured through behavioural symptoms, not through a blood test or any other examination. These behavioural symptoms are then recorded in the DSM and this is how diagnoses are given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I'll leave it in the middle but what I can tell you is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote is-style-default\"><blockquote><p>Try to worry less about the negative aspects of AD(H)D you may be experiencing. After all, ADD \/ ADHD has so many wonderful and positive sides that are often lost because people become convinced they have a disorder. This is because of all the criticism you have had to hear throughout your life. The fact that your brain works a little differently from the average person does not necessarily mean that you have a disorder. Even if it seems that way when you compare yourself to others. If you can use your AD(H)D traits for your passion, the tables will soon turn and you will not only experience far fewer complaints, people might just start to look up to you enormously....<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">10 wonderful benefits of ADD and ADHD<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are 10 great benefits of ADD and ADHD. The list was created by Jennifer Koretsky. She is a professional coach of people with ADD and ADHD:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Compassion<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those with ADD and ADHD have tremendous power to connect with people. But it goes a step further than that. They usually also have a great capacity for empathy with others, and to see many different perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b> 2. Creativity<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with ADD and ADHD tend to be incredibly creative! Writers, painters, musicians, filmmakers, designers, the artistic talents are abundant. Some assume that composers Mozart and Beethoven had ADD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>3. Drive<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When someone with ADD or ADHD finds a particular task, task or activity boring, doing it can seem like torture. But give him or her an interesting project and there is no stopping him or her!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>4. Problem-solving (out of the box)<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ADDs and ADHDs are often good at solving problems and riddles. Once an interesting problem to solve is postulated, we often keep going until the solution is found!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #000000;\">5. Hyperfocus<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hyperfocus is something the ADD and ADHD person can use to their advantage. When kept under control and guided towards productive tasks and achieving goals and dreams, it can be an incredible force for getting anything done well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>6. Humorous<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people with ADD and ADHD love to laugh, and many also have a huge sense of humour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>7. Resilience<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it should not be denied that alongside the benefits of ADD and ADHD, there are also challenges. The beauty of ADDs and ADHDs is that they in particular have an incredible capacity to pick up where they left off after a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>8. Intuition<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with ADD and ADHD tend to have sharp intuition. They have a high level of perception and a great understanding of fellow human beings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #000000;\">9. Resourceful<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ADDs and ADHDs are wonderful idea generators. They can usually come up with innovative ideas at lightning speed and are often real brainstormers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #000000;\">10. That 'special something<\/span><\/b>&#8216;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people with ADD and ADHD believe they have a unique way of seeing the world from a perspective that others do not understand. Until the ADD'er\/ADHD'er meets other people with AD(H)D! You could say that these are on the same 'wavelength'!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Dealing with the difficult aspects of ADD and ADHD<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the many tips on this website, are you looking for an easy support that doesn't require much effort?
