I often read posts across the internet from people with ADHD wishing they could be normal. I think I know what most mean by requesting to be normal. Unfortunately, or, fortunately, there is no magic potion to make anyone normal. What is normal anyway? Who defines what normal is? All of us are beset with challenges, struggles and special wishes for a better tomorrow.
My question, for anyone wishing to be normal, is this:
What is exciting, unique, special or individual about being normal?
Okay, I have a second question:
What is normal? Does normal really exist?
Okay, that was 3 questions, or, maybe it was 4.
I am simply, thankfully, not normal.

This is an interesting paradox for me because since being diagnosed I think about it a lot and have become aware of what others perceive and honestly sometimes worry about it. knowing full well that “normal” is an infinite range that cannot be accurately reported or gauged. It’s also in a constant state of change, a judgment call. i think I liked it better when I just didn’t give a crap about what normal is, or what other people’s thoughts were on it. When i didn’t WANT to be normal. this could get interesting, buckle up!
