Can my child with ADHD succeed in society?

One big worry for parents of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) children is that their kids won't be able to succeed in the world. If you commit to the idea that your child's differences are just that -- a difference and not a disorder -- you begin to nurture your child's uniqueness. To take it a step further, many leading-edge thinkers are taking seriously the idea that the dramatic changes in the world and economy will require just such a difference that many ADHD children have.

In A Whole New Mind, Daniel Pink writes, "Thanks to an array of forces -- material abundance that is deepening our nonmaterial yearnings, globalization that is shipping white-collar work overseas, and powerful technologies that are eliminating certain kinds of work altogether -- we are entering a new age. It is an age animated by a different form of thinking and a new approach to life … and the capabilities we once disdained or thought frivolous -- the 'right-brain' qualities of inventiveness, empathy, joyfulness, and meaning -- increasingly will determine who flourishes and who flounders". These capabilities map almost exactly onto the gifts of ADHD: creativity, exuberance, interpersonal intuition, emotional sensitivity, and ecological consciousness.
