This is Your Brain on ADHD

I was curious what GPT4 thinks my brain looks like. So I asked it. I enjoyed the results. Many feel that ADHD is a disability. Many feel it is a gift. For me, it is the only thing I know, so I accept it as who I am, gift and disability.

I think the bigger question is how we think about disabilities and gifts. If it is a gift, who was the gift from? If it is a disability, what is the ability that I am supposed to have by default as a human being that is being dissed? The more I listen to words that people use when talking about the uniqueness of each human being, I realize that we use labels and then apply value to the label. The value can be on a spectrum of good and bad. I am a not huge fan this spectrum. ADHD and other labels, like autism, or are not good or bad they just are. What I love about AI is that it draws out the condition in my brain and makes me feel “good” about the label.

Could you depict an image what the mind of someone with ADHD looks like?
