About Me

#ADHDbrain#adultadhd#ADHDismysuperpower

I am so ADHD I have an entire Undergraduate degree's worth of Elective credits (128) in my undergraduate portfolio. I had to switch schools due to some family needs but while I was attending the University of Alabama I was designing my own degree in the New College program. This let me really explore my thirst for knowledge, which let me round out my capabilities. I am familiar with many forms of thought and like seeing where unconventional solutions can bring greater success.

Ideal Workplace Values

Inclusive and focused on sustainability.

My Badges

Skills and Strengths

My Neuro-exceptional talent

My ADHD allows me to take in Big Picture information and synthesize it into smaller packets without the excess noise that usually comes with that process. I have a keen understanding of "unnecessary" information because I can often only pull it in if it connects back to the big picture. Also, I am full of ideas and constant failure in innovation is only an encouragement, sometimes it is better for my first ideas to fail because it helps me fill in gaps that I would have missed otherwise, and while I understand this is not necessarily unique the feeling of happiness I get at trying (succeed or fail) is tied to my inability to focus. I am referring to a lack of object permanence, a built in "out of sight, out of mind" where moving on to the next necessary iteration is all part of the fun. I can multitask and drill down simultaneously because thinking about one thing is unattainable anyway.
