Are you good at concentrating your attention? Of course you are. That’s something that people with ADHD, Aspergers etc can do better than anybody else.

Concentration is a magic power. Attention is the axis of reality. Yes.

That’s a power that you have naturally. You can do it better than everybody else. And with practice you can get even better. There is no limit.

There were groups of people who dedicated their whole life to seeing how deep they could go with concentration. (and there are other things that you can do with your attention too. Things that are even better than concentration.)

For lack of a better term let’s call these people “wizards”.

Their preferred recruits were people with ADHD, Aspergers etc.

Because people with ADHD, Aspergers etc are very good at concentrating their attention.

    This trope that ADHD is somehow a fucking gift needs to die. It’s not. I don’t need it to be who I am and it sure as fucking fuck didn’t help me get ahead in life. It wasn’t the price of being smart, everyone else is my family is smart without having to worry about things I do. Just… No. You’re wrong about this.

      How about both? A good side and also a bad side. As things in reality generally are.
