Theory - If you own a sports car, do you also have...
ADHD?
This sort of came to me this week. I drive an SC. Not comfortable. Not quiet. Lousy mileage. But, very rewarding in sensory stimulating ways. I get out of the car with a smile every day. All of those many inputs work very well with me.
So I have never been diagnosed with ADHD but I bet if I were a kid today I would be. It was mentioned in a medical context when I was a child. Not exactly sure how that conversation went. Regardless, my 10 yr old daughter does have ADHD (adopted - I didn't give it to her!) and one of the things that is known about ADHD folks is that they like stimulation. Loud music. Cigarettes. Driving fast. You name it.
This idea crossed my mind that I like loud music, driving fast, loud cars, etc.
Am I on to something?
Thanks,
Larry
