ADHD and an unexpected Jedi Knight – a connection
If you are a woman in your 40s, and are now rethinking some of what you learned growing up female, check out this blog post entitled “Learning the Force: ADHD and an Unexpected Jedi Knight” at Moon Stars Lovers. You will surely connect with the author, A.M. Bolling, as she treats us to her perspective on growing up a female Star Wars fan and her newly found suspicion that she has ADHD. She deftly ties the two together to make this essay interesting, memorable and educational. She is convincing in her musings that male and female alike can possess the “force”, that it is not only for men as once portrayed, and that the same is true for ADHD. As she contemplates what it means, and has meant, for her life to have ADHD, she doesn’t forget to think about the positive personality qualities one may have because of this “disorder”. She says: “Of course, there are plenty of positive things about having ADHD. Creative, courageous and adventurous attributes of my personality that I really like, if not love . . .” and then vows to learn how best to use them just like she would the “force”.
May the force be with us all…and, remember…feed your good dog so your good dog always wins!
