ADHD doesn't make you smarter or faster.
What are you talking about? I know very little about so many things! I can hyperfocus on like 3 different activities that just pass the time until death and don't benefit me at all!
I don't ever stop moving. I do isometric exercises constantly as part of my fidgeting. Some of my muscle groups, weird ones, are genuinely terrifying at this point. Like i have to be careful what gear i buy because ill just break some of it while im watching a movie.
If i didnt id be a lump. So not faster, but stronger, more flexible, more coordinated, with a little more endurance.
My curiosity and tangents over the decades have lead me to a ridiculously broad pool of knowledge, with very small wells of substantial depth, just kind of passively as a result of being me.
Disagree.
It may make one smarter if it causes them to have to work harder than others to reach the same level.
With speed it is too easy to be distracted getting things done quickly and efficiently can become a coping skill.
Not how any of that works, this is all contrarian coping propaganda.
