When we talk about any kind of disorder, we think it’s negative in all its aspects, but it’s not always like that. Although disorders have several characteristics that cause difficulties and problems, they also have their positive side. Today we will focus on ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which is increasingly diagnosed in children.
A disorder doesn’t mean “disease,” a disorder doesn’t define us. For example, a depressed person is not the same as a depressed person: the disorder is different from the symptom. So believe it or not, there’s a positive side of ADHD that will change our perspective on this inatre attention, this inability to do a task, or the impulsivity we always consider negative.
I’m not below the “normal,” I’m no less, no less capable, I just act differently.
Before delving into the topic in question, it should be mentioned that not all children have the positive aspects of this disorder, as well as the negative aspects may not affect them with the same intensity, perhaps out of care people do not stimulate these aspects and focus on treatment to minimize symptoms. However, treatment is necessary, we can see its positive side and, if possible, strengthen it.
Do you think the lack of attention and inability to complete tasks is a very negative aspect?You may not have noticed that your child is very creative, so he acts spontaneously, exploring everything around him, paying attention to things that others would not know.
Kids with ADHD are looking for different ways to have fun, some of them are very curious about their creative skills, plus a child with ADHD tries to experiment, research on their own, in that sense they are very independent.
Perhaps the most negative thing is the frustration children feel when they are calm, behaving, not exploring their surroundings and unleashing all that creativity, this bothers them, makes them uncomfortable and can provoke negative reactions.
Kids with ADHD don’t tolerate routine
So if a child with ADHD likes to do something, it’s essential that he does it, it’s true that he often goes down the standard and doesn’t do things the way he should, but something that makes him happy will stimulate him. their creativity and can become, in the broadest sense of the word, young people passionate about what they do.
What about us adults? When we experience a negative episode, we worry, sometimes we blame ourselves, we feel hurt for a long time, do we have a grudge?This is less often the case with kids with ADHD.
It’s very rare for a child or person with ADHD to know what a grudge is.
This way of looking at the most complicated situations can be positive for your future, unlike people who don’t have this disorder, they can forget and their world won’t be tied to the facts that hurt them.
This is because they live in the present and adapt to the circumstances. Because of their rejection of boredom, in the days that follow, kids with ADHD appreciate everything that happens in their lives, even if it’s not entirely positive.
For a child with ADHD, a “last-minute” change of plans, a circumstance that forces him to take another path in life, will never be a tragedy. This ability to adapt and forget is something that for many people would be of great use: it would free them from unnecessary concerns.
Kids with ADHD are full of energy. So much so that they are the ones who offer new types of games and challenges to play with your friends. These children enjoy making friends, watching them and seeing the differences as something fun and inspiring.
This energy sometimes translates into impulsivity. Children don’t think about anything; ‘Do it and that’s it’ This drives parents crazy because they can’t see this impulsivity as a positive thing.
We talk before boredom, but what happens when a child finds something he likes?A child with ADHD concentrates all his energy on doing this activity, he’ll never leave for tomorrow what he can do today, if that’s what he likes.
Does this feature allow you to do your best to perform the task that caught your eye, give your best, put your creativity on the table?Maybe the next day it’s another activity that interests her most, but now that’s it and she’ll make the most of the moment.
Children with ADHD are extremely observant. There are many things that we are not aware of, but they are not lacking.
Although we are used to seeing disorders from a negative point of view, the truth is that there are several disorders that have their positive side, you only have to look at it from a different perspective so that the positive side is highlighted and the balance is done. inclined to your advantage.
