Why can’t I be both?
It’s not either/or, it’s because. I’m constantly craving novelty, which has led me to learn a little bit about almost everything, quite a bit about many things, and achieved mastery of nothing. Hell I’ve been playing guitar for 25-odd years, and that’s pretty much the only exception, but even there, I’m nowhere near as good as I “should” be with that much experience.
I can C+ to B just about anything that interests me, but God help me beyond that point.
I was diagnosed within the last six months. In my 30s, it drives me crazy to see stuff like this that I knew was weird with me. Why didnt I get treatment sooner… Lol
But the superpower of ADHD is being Jack-of-all-Trades.
Specialists are valuable, but when they specialize themselves into a corner, a generalist can usually get them out.
Today’s world is built on being super specialized. All ADHD is someone who is wired to be a generalist and constantly changing tasks, filling in where needed. Before the 20th century, it didn’t matter and wasn’t an issue; now, it does. The failure we feel is society being overly optimized and unable to find us a place.
Oh no, I should book an appointment, again, where is they referral letter…I stashed it somewhere after I missed my first appointment 1.5 years ago by showing up at the wrong hospital department…fuck
