please stop glazing my mental condition it will get more confident and take over the world
I don't think ADHD itself makes you smarter. It's more about autism and some personality disorders which look very similar to ADHD or even live alongside it.
Autism and other personality disorders don't make you smarter or faster, either...
Hmm maybe if you have a very distorted definition of "smart". I'm talking about intelligence and it's a well known observation amongst therapists that such disorders are related to increased intelligence. Faster though? More likely the opposite.
And yet there's people whose autism is severely debilitating...
I'm certainly not saying autism makes you stupid but people diagnosed with it have a huge range of intelligence so it's unfair to say it "makes you smarter" IMO. There's no proof of causation even if it often does correlate
Oh I probably forgot to mention that the mentioned disorders don't always correlate (very good word for it btw) but in many cases (2/3 I'd say) they do. It also depends on the exact condition as some do not have such effect. And I don't have proof of causation either. They're related but idk what causes what. However for the purpose of meme creation it's enough.
I need you to realize that the numbers you're pulling out of your ass have no basis in reality. Nothing you're saying has a basis in reality. Your gut feelings aren't facts.
all i can say is ive met many people with adhd who are definitely not smarter than, well, anybody.
There’s a point in the movie Frank where the protagonist is talking to the parents of the mentally disabled musical savant he rode to fame and the subject eventually turns to his disability. The protagonist suggests to Frank’s parents that Frank’s experiences with mental illness are probably what made him so good at music. The parents object, and insist that he was always good at music; his illness only ever held him back.
