Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

Today I picked up my son from school, in tears telling me he just wished he was "normal". I played him this song and I think it really helped. We r gonna get your book very soon. THANK YOU!❤

About a year ago I started to realize I might have adhd. I sobbed finally realizing why I’ve struggled my whole life. I didn’t tell anyone because I was just self diagnosing and didn’t want the judgement. Plus, I was just processing the thought myself. I wanted to tell my boy friend so bad, but wasn’t sure he would understand, so I didn’t. A few months later, I was working one night, and he sent me a KZfaq video and said, “I think you might have this.” It was your little mermaid video about ADHD. I was dumbfounded! That video allowed us to connect on something I didn’t know how to tell him. It has been a really big blessing for our relationship. ❤

"do you space out on a book after page number 3?" - bold of you to assume i can even get to page no 3

I just showed this to my 7 year old who is currently struggling immensely with ADHD. I cannot tell you the grin he had on his face when this song was over. He felt so proud of himself because he had a cool unique brain. Thanks for this song! I think this got through to him more than anything we've tried so far.

My husband solved a 600 step wooden puzzle in 7 minutes. He put it back in a little over 3 minutes and then took it back apart in 3 minutes and 6 seconds. Also, he puts things in really random places so he “ will know where to find them “ and then has no idea where he put them. He absolutely makes people he cares about laugh as a way to make us feel better. I have said for years that Penn reminds me of him. Great hair and all. Oh, and he got bad grades so they tested him… he skipped 3 grades after that. He’s brilliant and I love the way his mind works.

I actually have ADHD. I definitely feel frustrated with it most of the time. I appreciate the line, "there nothing wrong with you." Penn is great about making us feel better and laugh at it too!

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was seven. I am now 34. This is really the first place where I’ve felt like ADHD is a superpower not a “disorder”. For so long ADHD has had stigma associated with it. Thanks for writing these songs. It’s helping seven year old me heal, I guess.

I love the ADHD songs. You should make a playlist of them.

I just got diagnoised with ADHD officially 2 week ago... I am a 33 year old female that internatilized my hyperactivity and my special interest was school... so it got hidden very well, until now, and all my really good friends also have ADHD which is why we get along so well!

My son Has ADHD, and always struggled in school, and barely passed. Didn't want or desired to go to college at all. He is very hands on type of a person and can fix anything! He did this when he was younger, and would fix stuff around the house and in neighbors houses! This led him into a career into maintenance and he makes as much as my daughter does who went to college and as a degree. I am so proud of both of my kids and especially proud of my son. He has found himself through this!

I have two sons with ADHD, 12 and 8, and the 8yo is seriously struggling as we try to find him the right medication and other resources. It’s been heartbreaking to see my sweet, loving boy feel different, misunderstood, frustrated and depressed. This gave me a little boost of hope. Thanks so much, Penn-it’s obvious that that last message came straight from your heart, and it means a lot. ❤

I just watched this with my 11 year old son who has ADHD. As Penn was asking the different questions throughout the song, my son kept answering "Yes!" 😂 We both loved it and are looking forward to reading the book together 🙏 Thanks Penn for bringing hope, levity and joy in sharing your experience. We need more of that in the world!

Our oldest son and daughter have ADHD and there's a chance our youngest son may have it as well. Oldest son really struggled in school. Lots of acting out and physical reactions to things. Finally found a school and doctor with the resources to help him. He never cared about school. But he graduated high school, earned his 2nd degree black belt in taekwondo and was 1 of 200 kids out of the whole state picked to play in a marching band, throughout Europe. Our daughter is completely different. She loves school, wants to do well and does well is school, so people often don't see the ADHD. Anxiety is her real struggle.

I'm gonna be 60 this year and found out about 30 years ago that I have Adhd. I think one of the best things I learned to deal with this is to be kind to myself and when I have one of those goofy moments, I laugh to myself and say adhd Strikes again! and go on with my day knowing that i'm okay. I've done amazing things in my life. Like learn nine languages and have a successful career, so don't let adhd stop you! This video is amazing. And I'm gonna send it on to my kids who all have ADHD too!

I love this so much. I have friends with ADD or ADHD, and this helps me understand them so much better. BTW, we’re all middle aged women! ADHD isn’t just hyperactive little boys.

A lot of shame and embarrassment for sure. My 18 year old son has struggled his 13 years in school being bullied by peers and dismissed by teachers. He's really close to not graduating next month because he has challenges remembering and organizing and finishing projects. We have a tough few weeks ahead. But on the flip side he has a really great group of friends that are a lot like him. He will always befriend those who seem to need a friend. He's always wanting to help and will help others with schoolwork when he has trouble doing his own. Last year when we took care of my toddler niece and nephew he was always there helping without even being asked. He was such a Godsend thinking of others before himself. He comes up with wildly creative ideas and is so funny, and so tenderhearted. I wouldn't want him any other way as he's always bringing so much joy. Thanks Penn for being one just like him. He loves your encouragement!

I have relatives who probably have undiagnosed ADHD (super high energy and a lot of random tangents), but they naturally gravitated towards professions that require the ability to task-switch rapidly (for instance, coaching athletes or managing multiple properties), so it didn't really need to be diagnosed because their jobs NEED that energy.

My oldest was diagnosed with ADHD several years ago, and the more we've learned, we've realized that probably our whole family has ADHD, which makes for some interesting Dynamics in the house. My husband did get diagnosed recently, and both my siblings have been diagnosed as adults, so at some point I probably ought to seek it out too haha. But I agree with taking this positive spin on it, we've been trying really hard to teach my oldest that yes, ADHD can make a lot of things challenging for her, but it can be a huge strength when she learns how to handle it. We call it a super power, and she loves that.

I'm recently diagnosed as autistic and very, very likely ADHD as well. I'm finally learning how to navigate through life the right way for my brain, and it's not the easiest or fastest journey but it's way better than just sitting in a corner mentally beating myself up because I can't do things that others can do. And accepting that yes, this is a disability, but only because society isn't built with people like me in mind. And the more open and self-aware I am about my neurodivergent brain, the easier it is to find ways to succeed, or at least adjust! Part of that journey has definitely been seeing you rock your own unique brain, Penn!

Awesome video! Your ADHD was a huge part of you winning the Amazing Race!

The biggest help is y'alls joy and compassion. I can struggle through a lot of things, but seeing (understanding - relatable) humans that are happy really really helps.

What a wonderful encouragement to anyone with ADHD. I don't have it but appreciate anything that encourages a child or adult and everyone in between to handle whatever situation they may be experiencing. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Love this. My son was diagnosed 2 years ago with Autism and ADHD at the age of 30 and has spent the last year trying to find the right medication. Once he started learning about the different symptoms for each diagnosis he has continued to tell me that I have ADHD too. This week I just took a test and scored really high for it, which means I went 50 years losing keys, but doing puzzles quickly, losing track of days and time, not knowing what I just read in a paragraph, and not being able to focus on simple tasks, but finding periods of creativity that even amaze me. Loved this video. We may have found out late in life, but me and my son finally fully understand why we do the things we do, the pros and the cons, and it can be just as amazing of a brain as it can be just as frustrating. Not mad at it though.

Thank you for this. I was just diagnosed at 57 and I've been having a difficult time adjusting to symptoms that I'd been ignoring all my life.

ADHD is totally a superpower. I don't have it, but I've worked with lots of ADHD kids in theater and dance settings and they are so dynamite - once you figure out how to focus them they are just magical.

There's nothing wrong with being different ❤

All my kids and I have adhd. I’ve always made my kids feel like it’s actually pretty cool and helped them understand that different is not broken. It’s literally just a different operating system. Unfortunately my daughter (16) has a good friend who has the worst case I’ve ever seen, but says there’s nothing wrong with her, she doesn’t have adhd. I’m like little dudette, there is nothing wrong with me or my children but we do have adhd. She thinks there is something “bad” about having it and so she refuses to accept that she does. Not intentionally insulting us. I feel bad for her, her mom is single and really hard working but has sadly neglected her child’s mental health. Little miss has anxiety attacks and severe rejection sensitivity and struggles in school, over a year ago she said she was going to a therapist but never did. Breaks my heart.

I know so many people with ADHD, both officially and unofficially diagnosed, and they are all amazing, wonderful, incredible people!

Adhd can absolutely be a blessing. It can be disabling though, and I hope both sides of that get more recognition in the future. People don't seem to be able to both acknowledge the struggles while also valuing us, and I hope that changes. It's a lot like autism. It's a different brain type, and having it doesnt mean you're "wrong" as a person. But it can have a very real debilitating impact on some people, and there needs to be room in society for people with the brain types that need more support. One of the biggest things that would help would be making getting medical care for it less onerous. Literally every step of getting the debilitating effects treated is set up to be something hard for someone with ADHD to do.

Your Little Mermaid parody actually got me wondering if I had ADHD. I went down a rabbit hole of research and talked with my doctor about the possibility. He was kind enough to send me to a specialist, and a year and a half ago, I received my ADHD diagnosis.Thank you so much for bringing this to light in such a playful, wonderful way. I'm definitely going to get my paws on your new book!

As a creative person in their 40s I've just recently accepted the fact that I most assuredly probably have ADHD and it explains A LOT :) But I also know I wouldn't do all the cool and fun things I get to do without it. Loved this song - thanks!

Thank you for writing this putting this together. Sharing it. I'm 22 and in college. It's finals week and I am struggling to keep up and focus. I can stare at my computer for hours and not touch it when I "just" need to open a Word doc and start writing. I'm crying. Someone finally gets it and doesn't say it's a bad thing. ADHD is not bad. It's different, but that doesn't make it bad. Thank you

Spouse and child with ADHD and they have the biggest hearts, but need a lot of guidance! We are all musicians. Hubs and I teach music, and we both know that ADHD can be a true superpower when playing a musical instrument. Hubs says the first time he took trumpet lessons was the first time he felt like all the ‘channels’ in his brain were all occupied with the same thing at the same time and he felt so powerful. Breathing, blowing, counting, fingers moving, foot tapping, eyes reading, ears listening… no sweat if your brain is in hyperdrive! I also don’t like that it’s called a disorder. I am diagnosed with some thing that is also called a ‘disorder’. Neurodivergence shouldn’t be considered a disorder. It should just be different types of brains, just like there are different types of blood, or personalities. One is not superior to another. Just different.

I always read comments on KZfaq about people watching something and crying. I always think it’s a load of rubbish… yet here I am writing this with tears on my cheeks. My 7 year old daughter has ADHD and I suspect I have it too, albeit undiagnosed. I’ve been procrastinating watching this video. I’m so glad I did. It’s amazing. Thank you. 👍 Edit: Watched the song with my daughter and bawled my eyes out again. Happy tears. 🥲

It's now into adulthood that I'm convinced I have ADHD. This is backed up by this song. The first few examples, walking in the mud without shoes and leaving my laptop didn't resonate, but from then onwards like being the funny person, distracted and forgetting why I was in a room, being diverted by food, making people smile, and getting lost in thoughts, In all I reckon I match around 75% of the content of the song. WOW!

Thank you Penn! This is incredibly helpful for everyone, not just those with ADHD. It promotes healing and understanding. I am an Instructional Aid at a local high school and I see all of this every day. You're right, ADHD is a superpower and needs to be understood.

I wish i could hit the like button a thousand times for this. Thank you so much. Hit me hard in the feels.

As a sped aide of 11 yrs-your openness and support of those who think with a unique brain is AMAZING!!! You will impact more folks than you know!!! Thank you for helping to rid the world of the stigma of brains that work differently! Yea!!! You rock!!!

When I read for school I take notes and note the page numbers. It is the only way to get to remember or take things in. Never been diagnosed

My kid is 4, almost 5 and we're working on diagnosis for ADHD. I hope people like you keep getting attention because that's a stigma that needs all the way gone posthaste

There's a kid in the combined kindergarten/1st grade Sunday school class that I teach who, the more y'all share about ADHD, the more confident I am that he has it. I just wanted to say thank you, because your videos on adhd have really helped me understand and appreciate how his brain works and help him better in class. As the years go on and I encounter more kids like him, this will help me understand and appreciate them, too. I hope he and other kids like him never feel shame for about adhd, because my goodness, he is SO creative and smart. I can absolutely imagine him changing the world one day!

I am recently 40. I learned two things today. 1- I have ADHD .. and 2- I really like you.

I was very proud of myself for changing the daylight savings time offset in my car this year! Like two weeks before they changed again, but still.

One of my favorite videos! Thank you Penn! I'm a teacher with ADHD and have never felt so seen and heard as I do with you and how you talk about it. Thank you!!!🩵🩵🩵

I was officially diagnosed a couple weeks ago at 38 years old. I wish I had known as a child so I wouldn't have had the shame and trauma of feeling like such a useless human being. Thanks for lifting us up. ❤

Iived with this since 83. It has helped Me to do this KZfaq thing for 15 yrs. Nice Song

I legitimately cried. Thank you, actually thank you.

Tears are running down my face. Thank you for this.

Penn, I believe your book and song will be watershed tools for educators and parents. I once believed that ADHD was "something wrong" with a child, either my own or my students. I'm ashamed to admit it, but that was the thinking at that time. You are teaching us something new. Yes, people with ADHD have to find systems and routines to help them cope (I mean, laptops are expensive!), but we need to approach it positively. We need to see the process as building, rather than tearing down. I'm so excited for you and for those of us who will benefit. I'm definitely sharing this video! Best wishes!

I teared up towards the end… “There is nothing wrong with you”… I needed to hear that. Thank you.❤️

I was diagnosed about nine years ago in my late 20s. I have, among other things, put my alarm clock in the fridge several times and once hung up a bag of frozen broccoli on the clothes line which is right in front of the freezer, so this feels very familiar. 😅 Greetings from Germany 😊

We need more of these videos. As a guy who was diagnosed with adhd and used to hate that diagnosis, this song really helped.

I was diagnosed last fall (at 45!) and yes, all of this is true. I have all kinds of weird superpowers that turned out to be ADHD symptoms...go figure! Thanks for this song, I'm gonna try to find your book in my library, can't wait to read it.

Thank you for this video. It brought tears to my eyes. I've had ADHD all my life but was not diagnosed until I was an adult. When I was in grade school I was part of a special group called LDG (Learning Disability Group). The had us crawl, color, and other simple inane tasks. Today both my sons have ADHD and we were able to get them on the right medications right away.

They need to call it something different. It isn't a disorder. It's an ability. Society is the disorder.

I got diagnosed at 41, my 14 yo has it as well. Love the song! I wish I had it in German to play it for my pupils who struggle. And for their parents as well. Thank you ❤

Thank you so much for the way you all advocate for ADHD, and how encouraging you are to people who have it. I was diagnosed a year ago and it was your videos about ADHD that made me realize that this disorder, while sometimes a bit of a pain, could also be a strength. I've got your book on preorder, and what makes me the most happy is that I've got my mum excited to read it too, because she wants to learn about it so she can better understand my dad and me. I'm so happy to see that more people are able to learn about ADHD in this healthy, encouraging way, and I really appreciate how that has always come across in your content. THANK YOU HOLDERNESS FAMILY!

Thank you showing us what ADHD is really like. So many people like to think it's just being scatterbrained and lazy, but it's a lot harder yet better than that. It comes with real, deep challenges but also unconventional, creative ways of thinking. Some of my best friends have ADHD, and y'all just make the world better.

I was diagnosed at age 40. When I started talking to my friends about it, I found out that more than half my friends also had been diagnosed with ADHD. One friend, who was a very popular high school teacher in the vocational-agriculture program, said to me. "Welcome to the club! Do you want to know the secret handshake?" My friends tend to be smart, funny, very inventive, involved in lots of cool stuff, compassionate and helpful. So yeah, ADHD can be all those things, too. My friend found his niche in the vo-ag program, which allowed him to do a lot of field trips and hands-on classroom stuff, so it was a lot less structured than a regular classroom. I worked as a reporter for more than 30 years (retired now). The deadlines were very stressful, but no two days were ever the same and I was rarely stuck at my desk. I often wrote my stories at home and sent them in "over the wire" (phone) at first, and later by email. (I am 70, a lot changed in the news business over the years). So, finding your niche, or creating one, certainly makes a difference. And I was an outstanding reporter (and photographer), by the way.

Yes. I think most (if not all) of the "quirky" things I do, or ways I do them, are due to undiagnosed ADHD. I'm not just "lazy" or "not really trying" as I've been told my whole life (52 years!) Thank you, Penn and Kim, for being part of my journey in learning this about myself!

Just sent to my almost 19 year old he can relate to all these things and I think it's great to see a funny positive message regarding ADHD because his whole life has been a struggle and the public school system even with an IEP and society as a whole tend to make him feel like he could always do better or he's different and now as a college student he is embracing his ADHD and accepting it and after a rough start is finishing strong during his first year. He will definitely have a weird and wonderful life but he can be successful and most importantly a really great human being.

Truly inspirational Penn! I was diagnosed at age 11 (40 years ago) and my son who is 17 also was diagnosed. While we have our challenges compared to neurotypicals, we are gifted in many ways. Can't wait to read the book! Thank you for shining a light on our uniquely wired brains and all the laughs over the years.

As the mom of a 7 year old with ADHD and dyslexia, this is so awesome! I’m gonna show it to her.

Thank you, Penn, for your advocacy and courage in publicly disclosing! From an advocate for people with Blindness/Visual Impairments, who might have undiagnosed ADHD, mad respect. 🤟

You sir, are a beautiful human being.

My middle son and I both have ADHD. Thank you for all you are doing to help bring understanding and encouragement to those with ADHD as well as to those who love them ❤️ Your videos have been such a blessing to us and help us smile on our rough days! Looking forward to reading your book!

Dude, you deserve the world. Thank you for existing.

I've been watching a while and have been informed and entertained, this was both but also got me. I'm almost 40 and have no formal diagnosis, I've been struggling my whole life to figure out why I can't just do what everyone around me does, but also learning to appreciate the things I can do that they can't. Thank you, Holderness family, and thank you to my girlfriend who supports my journey every day ❤

@TheHolderness Both of my girls have ADHD. They have their struggles but they absolutely shine on stage! They love dance and acting. My oldest makes her own jewelry. She just turned 11 and is figuring out the routines that help her stay on track during the day. My youngest is just 8, amazing at telling jokes and loves improv. We are still learning how to help her stay focused through. Watching your channel really helps them. Thank you!

Can’t read a book; Bit my nails. Talk when I’m nervous and I have trouble not interrupting people. I had no idea that I had ADHD until I was 30 something years old! But once I figured it out everything about my life growing up made so much more sense. Cant wait to read your book!!!

Dang it bro, love yours all's stuff and did not plan on crying from this one. You're so not wrong about the shame. I finally got diagnosed as an adult going on 3 years ago (when I was 36), and finally had a moment of realization that I was a bad kid in early school years, just didn't know what I needed help with. And it gave me some grace for my teachers who also weren't equipped to help a kid like me. I'd often finish work quickly and then fidget, move about, talk too much, read a book, etc and it led to a lot of criticism and separation to having to sit at an isolated desk away from my peers. Most of my life was learning to white knuckle mask my symptoms. As a result I've become successful and driven, but learning new strategies to optimize my brain rather than beating it into submission has felt very healing the last few years. I still think about all the times I felt like there was something wrong with me and just wishing I could be like everyone else. Just for today I'm going to practice acceptance and gratitude for how I'm made. Thank you for the content. Your book is going on my Christmas list!

I watched this video with my seven-year-old with ADHD. He kept starting and stopping the video to show me a specific shot. It was a place that looked like a place he had been. 🤣🤣🤣

This song is the best song stuck in my head ever. I LOVE MY ADHD SO MUCH NOW

Your original songs are always a treat to hear, Penn!

I did horribly in school and didn't know why. I felt like an outcast and I distanced myself from my friends, thinking I was completely alone. I always knew I was different, and it wasn't until later that I found out I had ADHD. This kinda reaffirmed what brought me out of my shell. Thank you.

My Daughter was diagnosed with ADHD last year and this video is amazing! Thank you for sharing this penn!

I work in the learning support center of a high school and have been showing your videos to my students (predominantly ADHDers) and it has made quite a few of them smile. These guys are always getting in trouble and being misunderstood, but across the board they are my favorite kids, easily the most interesting and engaging kiddos. Thanks for putting this out there 🙏

My 12 year old has ADHD and was in tears this week with some of his struggles and challenges. I have been trying to be super supportive and encouraging to him. THIS SONG MADE ME CRY HAPPY TEARS AND RELIEF. Thank you!!! We love your guys’ channel in our house. Thank you especially for this song. I will be sharing this with him ASAP. We have over 8 people in our family with ADHD and I am going to be sharing this with them all and their parents!! ❤❤❤❤

I'm 60 years old and over the last couple of months, I've figured out that I've been ADHD for as long as i can remember. I've made it this long without taking meds and now that the light bulb has gone on, I'm really looking forward to the ride. I don't think ADHD is a bug. It is a feature. Everything is demanding our attention. People with ADHD are best equipped to survive in our modern world. I think we are better at processing the ever increasing rate of change and bombardment of information. ADHD is our super power which needs to be harnessed to our advantage. In the future, they will be giving people drugs to make them more like we are. We are the army that marches to our own drummer. We may be the humans of the future.

At 28 years old I was diagnosed with FASD. I also think I have ADHD because I do a lot of the things in this video and have since i was very young. Penn you and your family are amazing!

Gahhh this is so affirming, it means so much! Thanks so much for the positivity and encouragement! 🎉🎉

I am sitting in the fourth row of a NYC Barnes n Nobles about to see Penn & Kim after an ADHD filled day, I turned the song on and it literally brought me to tears. Penn, if I don’t get to say it to you, thank you for creating such an uplifting song. It’s the best

When I see people who clearly DO NOT have ADHD, I feel so bad for them and their boring little lives! 😂 I am 52 - never officially diagnosed, I was simply one of the 1970-80’s hyperactive kids who they thought needed less sugar in their diet. Little did they know I was destined to out perform them all and live life at a different level than they ever could imagine! 😊 I am so thankful for my information hungry brain every day.

Your closing made me tear up. Thanks for all you do. We appreciate your brain.

Thank you. Its clear that you've been blessed with true talent. You use your talent for music, sense of humor and creativity to make this world a better, more compassionate, understanding and accepting place. This KZfaq channel (along with your other ones) is special. My favorite is your episode called "ADHD in the Wild". May you be blessed to continue the good work that you do with good health and long life.

I came to put on some music while I work... then I saw this, totally forgot I was doing work, had a great time, made me smile... what was I doing? Oh, work! Yeah, renewed energy and stuff. Thanks, my dude!

I'm AuDHD so this is very relatable and funny, I laughed the whole way through. God bless you brother.

I really appreciate you reminders and positivity. As a teacher it reminds me to be sensitive and understanding in how I work with my kiddos. They are definitely a lot of fun, hilarious, and creative.

ADHD mom here with a houseful of ADHD comedians, artists and inventor children. My 13 year old took a voice recording of this song so he can listen to it over and over. We would definitely buy it if we could! ❤

This is an amazing message thank you, this actually made me cry.

I love you guys so much. Thank you for this. Becky, in Oregon, diagnosed at 64.❤

I LOVE IT! All the words were so positive and the lyrics “There’s nothing wrong with you.” and “Your brain is not broken.” made me smile so hard-

Bro, I was not ready to cry right now. Thanks I guess.

I have adhd and get frustrated easily, sometimes to the point of tears. It takes me a long time to do aomw things (mostlt learning new things that dont interest me). When i find something interesting, i can think about it constantly and do extensive research (i have tons of spreadsheets, both at home and work). Some days, i feel like im hitting my head against a brick wall because nothing goes right and i just want to go home and crawl into bed

Penn, you and your family make me feel better about my adhd and introvert moods. Keep up the good work you guys.❤

I like how he included positive stuff about ADHD

I love the positive outlook you have in harnessing your creativity. Personally though, I don't feel like I experience any of the positive parts of ADHD. Maybe it's the difference between primarily hyperactive and primarily inattententive types... With the latter I don't feel like I get any kind of creativity or good ideas, only the forgetfulness and zoning out while reading or while people are talking to me. I know it's hard to compress complex ideas into a short video, so maybe your book goes into more detail about how there are all different types of personalities with ADHD and how some people struggle more than others. I hope so. But this song and the mantra of "ADHD is Awesome" really doesn't represent me personally, and I know I shouldn't take it personally and I try to just be happy for the people who feel represented and seen by your videos and book. But sometimes your motto just makes me feel sad that I didn't get any of the awesome parts.

I love seeing positive content about ADHD (or in my case, ADD). I was blessed with parents who advocated for me and fought hard so I could have the resources I needed to make it through school despite opposition and attempted sabotage from others. Now I am a parent with a son who has ADHD, and I am getting ready to homeschool him next school year because the public school system, while better about helping kids with this sort of thing, still doesn’t have the resources to help my son the way he needs. I’m excited to see what he can accomplish with his amazing brain!

I'm an introverted partial ADHD! I do half to 3/4 of the questions, but ain't the life of any party, but when I get nervous I try to lighten the mood with saying goofy stuff! People say I think about stuff too deeply, and I try to fix everything, but have no problem staying at home for days until I get itchy to go out to travel to see new sights! Hate reading, cause I start thinking about other stuff, and have to back up, and read a sentence again, cause I wasn't really reading it, but thinking about other stuff while words pass before my eyes! Really do care about what you're telling me, but give me the Cliff Notes version, cause I'll just be thinking how I need to listen, and not just tell you how to fix your problem, or how much I need to listen instead of thinking of how I should be listening, and how terrible a person I am cause I'm not going to know what you just told me, and slowly I'm wishing the conversation could be interrupted, so I didn't have to feel bad being so scattered brained, ok, ok focus and listen!! Not going to remember any of the story anyway, but a week later it'll pop in my brain in the shower, and I'm going to have the perfect response to what you said! Thought of inventions, but only once tried to take an idea to that caveman with the wheel company, who turned me down, with a device I saw a similar one years later, so the introverted part of me said oh well I don't really want to be famous anyway! I've got more, but I'm sure everyone is losing interest as this is getting too long, and I'm forgetting any other points I may have!😉
