"People with ADHD are comfortable in the unknown, see limitless possibilities where others see only limits, have trouble with basic executive function but are highly imaginative. They can also be deeply focused—in the right environment." In the words of the great Taylor Swift, "Hi. It's me. I'm the problem, it's me." I am not no never not ever ashamed of my ADHD. It is NOT the problem, actually. It's my everlovin' SuperPower.

This is me, doing my homework assignment, reaching out. I love you.

Love this so much. Also as someone who has gotten a preview of that McSweeney's reject, it's awesome and I'm sure will go somewhere but will be in the first row as you read it out loud published or not ;).
