Anything & Everything ADHD

What do have AD(H)Ders have to give to the church?

What do you think is the special gift of AD(H)Ders for the parish respectively the congregation?
In my case for example I always was keen to play guitar - and when I see the peoples feet tapping and teetering I'm very happy…
Or some say I'm good with words so teaching people is really a joy (besides - I do love to talk… ;-))
What about you?

Not making any diagnosis here, but our church reverend is very hyperactive.
So I guess for him is being a church minister.; ▶ Reply to This

My two nephews who have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD both play instruments and they are so artistic. My 18 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD when he was a little boy.

My son has always been extremely artistic & creative. When my son was about 11 years old, he wanted to take guitar lessons. We bought him a guitar for Christmas and then signed him up for professional guitar lessons, which he did learn some important basic skills. From that moment onward, my son has been improving on his musical skills, playing the guitar, drums, keyboard and he has become quite talented. His passion is music and I think that is wonderful!

As for me, I have no musical ability. However, my talent leans more in writing as well as in the beauty industry working as a Makeup Artist. Creativity, but in a totally different way than with music.

Much like you, I love to talk and I am very personable!; ▶ Reply to This
