This isn\u2019t true\u2014having ADHD doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re less intelligent. It just means that your brain works differently than other people\u2019s, and some aspects of daily life may be more challenging.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Whereas Bossier focuses on describing how ADHD doesn\u2019t reduce intelligence, other experts highlight the unique <em>strengths<\/em> of people with ADHD. For example, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/adhd-2-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>ADHD 2.0<\/em><\/a>, Halloway and Ratey <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/adhd-2-0\/1-page-summary#adhd-strengths\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">describe several of these strengths<\/a>. First, many people with ADHD can hyperfocus, meaning they can focus <em>so <\/em>intensely on something that the rest of the world might as well not exist. This enables them to complete a large amount of work very quickly. Also, people with ADHD tend to be highly energetic. When a task is interesting to them, they have seemingly endless amounts of energy to put toward it. Finally, because people with ADHD are highly emotional, they\u2019re often highly empathetic and loving as well.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Misconception #2: Every person\u2019s experience with ADHD is the same.<\/strong> In actuality, every person with ADHD has a different experience. Some people may be severely affected by their ADHD, while others may hardly feel its impact. Instead of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/self-comparison\/\">comparing yourself to others<\/a>, figure out the advantages and struggles that represent your individual experience with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Even though every person\u2019s experience with ADHD is different, the standards for diagnosing children often represent the stereotypical, hyperactive presentation of ADHD in young boys. Because the symptoms of young girls with ADHD frequently present differently, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.henryford.com\/blog\/2023\/09\/why-adhd-is-often-underdiagnosed-in-women\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">they may get overlooked or misdiagnosed<\/a>. This means that many women enter adulthood having never been treated for their ADHD and not knowing the cause of their symptoms. This can damage their self-esteem, putting them at a higher risk of mental health issues such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/low-mood-and-anxiety\/\">anxiety and depression<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Misconception #3: ADHD will always control your life. <\/strong>ADHD can make you feel out of control, but with the right tools and skills, you can vastly reduce the negative effects ADHD has on your home and work life. As with any skill, you get better at ADHD management the more you practice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In addition to the strategies we discuss in this guide, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/favorite-healthy-adhd-management-finds#management-tools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">many virtual and physical tools can help with ADHD management.<\/a> For instance, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forestapp.cc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Forest app<\/a> is designed to help you practice staying focused. When you want to focus on a task, the app plants a virtual tree; if you click away from the app to look at something else, the tree dies. The more you stay focused, the more your forest will grow. Additionally, physical trackers, such as those offered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tile.com\/en-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tile<\/a>, may also help with ADHD management. You put them on important possessions that you frequently lose, such as your wallet and keys\u2014if you can\u2019t find an item, the app helps you locate it and the tracker rings when you get nearby.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are common beliefs about ADHD?
