As it’s easy to focus on the negative side of ADHD, we tend to forget the good that having ADHD can bring to our lives. There are definitely some positive aspects to having this neurodiverse brain.
Being curious is one strength and positive trait to having ADHD. Sure, you can be curious and not have ADHD, but it seems as though many with ADHD are quite curious and inquisitive. It is a common trait among the ADHD community.
Being curious and inquisitive is really all about wanting to learn more about a topic that is interesting to the person in question. It could be about so many different things. The curious person has a desire to learn and gain knowledge about something that interests them.
As ADHDers, our brains tend to wonder and it’s easy to daydream. This is where our brains may start wanting to learn something. This leads to learn and asking more questions.
This does explain why many entrepreneurs, innovators, creatives, and explorers, for instance, have ADHD.
Not all have ADHD, agreed, but many do, due to the fact that our minds can’t help but want to learn, ask questions, and try to find answers to questions we can’t always find an answer to begin with.
