- StevenWaterman 5y agoOne of the core issues with ADHD is that the things that motivate you are different to a neurotypical person: > First, neurotypical people (those without ADHD) make decisions based on three factors: Importance, Rewards, and Consequences. (e.g. I think it's important. Someone I [love, like, fear or respect] thinks it's important. Or, there are consequences and rewards > People with ADHD, rarely, if ever, make decisions based on these things. Dodson says (and I agree wholeheartedly), that people with ADHD make decisions based on different criteria: Interest, Challenge, Novelty, Urgency (ICNU). (https://www.oaktreecounselor.com/blog/adult-adhd-lazy https://www.oaktreecounselor.com/blog/adult-adhd-lazy) That difference in motivators makes it likely that people with ADHD will constantly jump between different tasks, which over time builds up into becoming an expert at learning new things, and a broad knowledge about many things within their domain.
