“While those of us with ADHD may struggle to focus on school, work, and other structured activities, that doesn’t mean we’re not smart. Far from it. In fact, those of us with ADHD are usually intensely curious, persistent, and lifelong learners… When we find a learning strategy that works for us, we can be excellent students, especially if we’re interested in a certain subject, since we’ll usually we want to know everything about it. If we’re not interested in the subject but have to learn it to satisfy a school or work environment, we can struggle. When ADHD students pursue university or graduate degrees where they can tailor their classes to their interests, they do much better.
I often hear stories from women with ADHD who struggled through grade school but went on to receive a PhD and graduated with highest honors.”

like hellions.”

“The magazine piece on the urban legend had stated, ‘At the end of the
day, whether one returns to the past or travels to the future, the present does
not change. So it raises the question: just what is the point of that chair?’
But Kazu still goes on believing that, no matter what difficulties people
face, they will always have the strength to overcome them. It just takes
heart. And if the chair can change someone’s heart, it clearly has its
purpose".”

“So the world ended.
And the next one began.
They were infinite.
They were the beginning and the ending; they were eternity.”
