Most people when told to do something, and then shown exactly how to do it, go ahead and perform/copy what they were shown as close to the example given them. Yes, that seems, and probably is, the right thing to do… right…
Now, one of the things that is remarkable about folks with ADHD is that we usually do not copy or do anything exactly the way it was shown, or, described to us. What is so great and/or remarkable about that?
Simple answer:
Because nothing has ever been modified, improved and expanded upon by doing the exact same thing that has always been done. If you want to go to the next level or find another way of doing something, well, go out and find yourself an ADDer and show him, or her, what you want done. Mix well and come back in a day or two. The odds are you have just advanced on something which many may have thought could never be modified, improved or expanded on.
