There are up sides and down sides to everything. I'm not going to pretend what makes me different doesn't give me challenges, but it also gives me benefits. I like who I am, wouldn't change it because a lot of WHO I am is intertwined with HOW I am.
Like I might be able to better accomplish tasks and whatnot without ADHD, but if that means the frequency of unique thoughts takes me to fewer topics and areas of learning, my entire body of knowledge would fundamentally change too, as would the interconnectedness of those topics, and whatever unique thoughts arise from the combination of those topics. You can't pick and choose what areas of the mind to keep and get rid of, the mind is a complex house of cards.
