Studies suggest that children with ADHD nervous system grow up being criticized at least 20,000 times more than other children their age. After time this becomes an internal experience and reality well into adulthood.
Many of the challenges including forgetfulness, clutter, disorganization, missing deadlines, unable to listen and other difficulties are a constant reminder that the person is less than perfect and stuck in this way of life
This negative self-view and judgmental attitude only worsens those challenges and hinders the brilliance of this brain type.
