MicrosoftPolly Davidson or Loryan Strant (whoever "owns" this article, now)...
1) You write here about ADHD. As suggested by your reference to "superpowers, most psychologists now agree that ADHD is more of a learning and thinking "methodology" (something akin to firmware in a computer, somewhat but not totally programmable), as opposed to a permanent learning and thinking "disorder."
2) After this article was written, ADD was reclassified in the DSM-V as a combination of different variants or varieties. ADHD (with the H), is the primarily-hyperactive variant. Many people have a primarily-inattentive variant whose 'superpower' is hyperfocus (the ability to focus your attention on just one thing at a time, for minutes, hours, days or even longer) and this is nearly the opposite of ADHD's rapid 'task hopping.' There is also an 'undefined' variant where, depending on the situation, someone can switch back and forth between hyperactivity and hyperfocus.
So, do you have any different advice for people whose ADD is NOT primarily hyperactive?
