Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most commonly
diagnosed psychiatric disorder of childhood, estimated to affect 3 to
5 percent of school-aged children. Two to three times as many boys as
girls are affected by ADHD. Research shows that ADHD tends to run in
families.
The basic symptoms of
ADHD include developmentally inappropriate levels of attention,
concentration, activity, distractibility, and impulsivity. Children
with ADHD usually have impaired functioning in peer relationships and
multiple settings including home and school. ADHD has also been shown
to have long-term adverse effects on academic performance, vocational
success, and social-emotional development.
There are
Six Types of ADHD.
The Classic ADHD
symptoms include lack of attention, easily distractible, disorganized
and maybe a little hyperactivity, restlessness and impulsivity.
The Inattentive
type of ADHD is exactly that - inattentive and also disorganized.
The Over-focused ADHD
has difficulty shifting attention from one form of activity to
another; has negative thoughts; tends to be obsessive; worries too
much; is not flexible; and tends to be oppositional and augmentative.
Temporal Lobe
ADHD symptoms include lack of attention; irritability; aggression;
tends to have "dark" thoughts; mood swings; and is very impulsive.
Most children in this category are defiant, highly disobedient; and
tend to have trouble learning as well have bad handwriting.
Limbic System
ADHD symptoms are inattention; chronic low-grade depression; tend to
be negative have low energy levels and have feelings of hopelessness
and worthlessness.
The Ring of Fire
type of ADHD is probably the most problematic. The symptoms are taken
to the extreme in inactiveness, distractibility, anger, and
irritability. Tendency to be sensitive the environment around them;
extremely verbal, oppositional and very possibly have cyclical
moodiness.

Now The Good News!
While ADHD/ADD is looked upon as a mental “disorder”, it is in fact, a gift! The fact alone that you are different from the “average” person allows you to become outrageously successful in anything you choose to do!
People with ADHD are risk takers; which means that your chances of becoming a millionaire or even a billionaire are about 300% greater than your “average” person!
Because of your genetic makeup you crave stimulation just to feel alive! Therefore, you’re more likely to seek thrills, take risks, be highly creative, bolder, and be very charismatic. This temperament, the genetic difference in ADHD, is the very same that creates rock stars, inventors, artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, leaders, and billionaires.
While thrill-seeking is an essential quality in rock stars; those with ADHD are 300% more likely to start their own company – AND only people with the courage to start their own company will ever become self-made billionaires. The key to getting really rich is taking risks. So if you have ADHD you probably love to take risks.
Why does ADHD allow some people to achieve great success while others don’t’?
ADHD therapies try to convert you to “normal” standards of acceptance in society, instead of helping you harness the greatness of ADHD. These therapies attempt to turn you into a 9-5 office worker. But why should you struggle to be “normal” when you are genetically designed to be a hugely successful artist, entrepreneur, athlete, inventor, leader, or leader?
The genius of ADHD isn’t encouraged or taught. The symptoms and behavior of those with ADHD are overwhelming and even disturbing to the “normal” population because they don’t have your energy and creativity to approach life; so the genius and brilliance of those with ADHD is suppressed.
Ninety-eight percent of all greatly successful people have the ADHD gene. John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Ozzy Ozborne, P-Diddy, Thomas Edison, Albert Enistein, Leonardo Da Vinci, Walt Disney, Bill Gates, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln and Bill Clinton are all ADHD. So you are in good company!
