I'm not that Different...

A few hours ago, i posted vent art about how people treat me differently about my ADHD and such. As my mood improved, i felt i had insulted myself, saying how bad ADHD is, when really, it is me. I've lived with it since 4th grade, and i just wanted to show my appreciation for it! So, here it is! ADHD love! This shows how you can let creativity take over, your thoughts just your own, and having a different view than everyone else. I am proud of my ADHD, and no one can take that away from me.



I want people to look at me,
Not with that look,
Oh, she's different.
Oh, she has ADHD.
Oh, she goes in after school everyday for extra support.
Oh, she doesn't get the best grades.
Someone....

Please look at me for the beauty i can bring to the world!
The art that i can do!
The friend i can be!
The shoulder to cry on!
The one who can make you laugh!
The one who's always cheerful, even when she's having a bad day!
The one who can laugh for an hour over a cup of pepsi, just simply because she enjoys laughing!
The one, who, once you get to know her, you could come to love!

Don't judge me for my disadvantages....
Look at the good i can do for the world.... Please.... for once......

People like you are rare. You are a unique and creative person who tends to march to the beat of your own drummer. Private, quiet, and socially cautious, only friends who know you very well may ever see your more playful and expressive side. In fact, it takes awhile for you to feel comfortable with new people so you may often be described as somewhat reserved. But inside, you are a person of great feeling and care deeply for the people and causes that are dear to your heart. Your personal values are most important to you so you always try to make choices that you feel good about. You are rarely willing to compromise on anything that is really important to you. You can sometimes become overwhelmed by the intensity of your emotions, and your relationships need to be free of conflict or tension for you to remain in them.

You are also a highly imaginative person and may enjoy expressing yourself through the arts. But since you are also somewhat of a perfectionist, you may have trouble hearing constructive criticism without taking it personally. You are quick to understand the deeper meaning of things, and often have a fresh or original take on events and people. Since you prefer by nature to act spontaneously, you resist too many rules or too much structure. And you may also have trouble staying organized or making decisions. At heart, you are a non-conformist and must find the path that is really right for you, even if it means striking out alone

I have ADHD and I couldn't be happier. I don't want to be some boring person with no imagination!

I still have a lot to add to this drawing, shading, more flowers, proboably more in the background. Any suggestions?

I don't have ADHD but I am the closest thing to it. Since the counselor refuses to say I have ADHD, I say I have ados
: attention defecit Oh Shiny!
I hate it when people make fun of people with ADHD.
O when they auto think in their minds that ADHD peeps are weird.
So good job standing up for people who enjoy ADHD and ados!

Thank you so much!
And i completely agree about making fun of people with ADHD. But when it seems you can't stand it, suddenly your friends are there to pick you up and dust you off, knowing the true you under the mask.
ADOS is just as epic as ADHD, so keep on keepin' on! In other words, you're awesome for having your own opinions, and standing up for what you believe in as well.
WooHoo!
