Advantages of ADD

More and more adults are being diagnosed with ADD, Attention Deficit Disorder. There's been a lot of negative press written about it. But, ADD does have it's advantages.

People with ADD have the ability to multi-task. Which means they can do a lot of things at the same time. But, they also procrastinate. Which means that they can do a lot of things at the same time…later.

To folks with ADD, the Latin term, “carpe diem” means, “seize tomorrow!”

Some ADD patients have an inability to focus on the task at hand…eyeglasses help.

People with ADD are disorganized. But they save a lot of time that would otherwise be wasted making plans.

It’s not unusual for ADD patients to start talking about one subject, switch topics in mid-sentence, drop several rapid-fire ideas in succession, then bring it all back together to a close with the original subject.

Take for example, the “USA Today” newspaper. Shouldn’t they call it, “USA Yesterday?”

Breaking news, the FDA has just approved the latest, high tech “escape” drug, the temporary amnesia pill.

Addiction is impossible because users can’t remember why they can't remember...

And the 2nd Amendment is always in the news, “The right to bear arms.” It’s such a stupid thing to argue about. The right to bear arms is practically a birthright…especially here in the South. I don’t know about you, but nobody is going to tell me, whether I can or can’t wear a short-sleeve shirt!

Let me conclude by saying that ADD does have a lot of life enhancing advantages; but only if it's managed properly. So, if you think you may have ADD, don't let it go untreated.

Take immediate action and call your health care professional RIGHT NOW!

That was a test... if you just picked up your phone to make the call... stop!  You don’t have a thing to worry about.

Otherwise, just do it tomorrow!
