ADHD and Distractibility – A Long Term Positive or Negative

ADHD and Distractibility A Long Term Positive or Negative

Little Johnny is paying close attention to his teachers lecture when all of the sudden a butterfly passes by just outside his classroom window. His thoughts now turn to what is that butterfly going to do today or where is my butterfly net when I need it the most, when inexplicably his teacher calls on him to recite some of what she last said. He can't give a good answer and is told that not paying attention in class in unacceptable. But is it possible that little Johnny might grow up to be someone who we look up to and someday may play an intricate role in saving our very lives? A thought provoking observation indeed and perhaps one that could be true.

There is no doubt that ADHD driven distractibility is not an asset in the ADHD individuals developmental years, either in school or a social setting. Losing tract of your thoughts may label you as a daydreamer or someone who isn't trying to succeed in school. Becoming easily distracted when talking to someone and putting them on hold until your current distraction (phone call, text, etc) passes is not the best way to make lasting friendships. Even in adulthood it may prove to be an obstacle. For instance a husband who can't help but be distracted by every woman that walks by probably will be in for a healthy dose of cold shoulder when he gets home and possibly a divorce if this behavior doesn't change.

But while the prognosis for ADHD and distractibility may initially seem pretty glum there may be a shining light of hope at the end of the tunnel. For instance what if you worked as a firefighter and you were able to detect smoke before others due to your gift of distractibility. That would surely be an asset.

What about a medical professional who is able to notice small details that may have been overlooked by others, such as a dermatologist who is consistently able to pick up on that suspicious looking raised area or a small change in the color of that tiny mole in-between ones toes. Their internal early warning system driven by distractibility allows them to recognize symptoms early, thus saving lives in the process.

Think about t many of the most successful doctor on television or in print, both current and past. Generally the doctor is easily distracted by both private and medical matters unrelated to the case he is trying to solve, only to arrive at the correct diagnosis almost all of the time. His fellow doctors and colleagues are amazed, as we as viewers and readers can't seem to get enough.

If you are struggling with ADHD and distractibility finding creative ways to turn this ADHD symptom into a positive could be the key to achieving both personal and professional success in life. Embrace the idea that perhaps distractibility is one of your strengths not weaknesses, allowing you to recognize and pay attention to potentially serious problems earlier rather than later.

Let's look at three examples:

*Your ability to pick up on the little things may make you a good judge of character thus determining who you will be best suited to work for or select as your significant other.

*You may notice smells that might seem inconsequential to others thus avoiding that house fire caused by either a gas leak in the laundry room, kitchen, or attic.

*You may pick up on changes in, or on your body, seeking treatment before they become serious.

Is ADHD and distractibility a long term positive or negative is question left for you to decide but one thing is for sure if a person with distractibility finds their way into certain careers or situations the result could prove to be quite amazing.
