Some recent research also confirmed that the same neuron systems responsible for impulsive behaviour are the same ones that make people curious.
Which of course also aids creativity.
But i find this especially important to note as how many add/adhd medication attempt to inhibit impulsive behavior and how that explains how i lost all interest in science during school, almost instantly gain it back as an adult when i stopped taking them.
That’s interesting, and I should read up on it since I teach about these things (survey class so ADHD being only one week of info, tho). It’s definitely a give and take-- for some, medication can be liberating if they feel out of control; for others like you, it might not have been worth it. Hope you’ve come to appreciate your own strengths!
