ADD/ADHD and Creativity
April 27th, 2005There has got to be some connection between having ADD and being a creative person.
I always notice that I’m much better at brainstorming than other people. I come up with all the random, odd ideas that end up getting used.
I hope I’m not sounding too egotistical here. I am just being honest. It’s the truth.
I think that people with ADD tend to be more creative because they allow so many distractions into their thoughts. Most people would just tune out all distractions and focus in on the main topic, which limits creativity. People with ADD can’t tune out distractions, but it’s not always a bad thing.
