It's not that simple. I mostly got rid of my ADD and haven't noticed any disadvantages beyond learned behaviours that are not productive anymore. You definitely don't need ADHD to keep up with information - for me it's easier without. I can jump between topics, but can also choose not to - that was not an option before.
The occasional hyperfocus is not necessarily helpful either - hours of sleep sacrificed to continue doing something fun are not a great outcome.
- theultdev 3y agoI never said it was simple. Just that it's a trait that can give great benefit. Anecdotal of course, as is yours. But everyone handles their brain differently.
- viraptor 3y agoIt would be interesting to hear more feedback about it from people who experienced both sides. Hopefully there's going to be many more over time. I'm becoming a bit sceptical regarding the advantages, but there's a lot of confounding variables there.
