People love to say ADHD comes with superpowers. The research is more nuanced.
In this Research Recap with William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD, Skye and Will examine two papers that look at ADHD strengths in careers. They discuss the themes that appear across 79 studies, the stories from qualitative interviews, and the complicated truth about strengths that can help and hurt depending on context.
What we cover:
- Why creativity and idea linking appear across ADHD career research
- Hyperfocus: strength, liability, or both
- How environment can support or sabotage ADHD strengths
- The emotional side of ADHD achievement before diagnosis
- The role of humor, resilience, and adaptive altruism
