Being an ADD/ADHD youth worker #17: Creative Thinking

Make good and unapologetic use of your creative thinking – your ability to put together seemingly unrelated things (this isn't just my idea, this is in the literature)
  • This is sometimes seriously out-of-the-box thinking.
  • Getting people to listen to us is often a problem.
  • Find people that deal will with someone who is ADD – listen to their 'hare-brained” ideas.
  • Make sure that new ideas and perspectives are communicated clearly and in a way that will make it acceptable to more traditional thinking people.
  • and be patient. It may take them awhile to catch up with you
