‘At 196cm I’m blessed with height, which has its pros and cons, but mostly pros. My eyesight is absolutely bang on, I have a head of thick hair, no baldness or greys and I’m nearly forty. Generally fit by default too, I can eat what I want and I don’t put on weight, I’ve got an athletic physique with minimal effort. However I am cursed with ADHD and a brain which I have to fight against everyday, it’s cost me tons of money, relationship problems, addiction issues, I didn’t do that well in school as I struggle remembering anything.’

‘Weird one, this.
‘I have different executive function than most. My short term focus and drive is pretty awful (hence me being on here chatting shite), but my long term is superior to average, I think, that is my ability to stick with a goal and say “right, in N years I’m going to have this”.
‘It is hard to say whether it’s better overall, because at times it can be quite lonely and hard to deal with people who are a bit more “in the moment” and see themselves as being made of stone rather than a kind of malleable thing (e.g. as an all around human that is capable of running a marathon, capable of lifting weight, of writing poetry, learning languages, earning money etc, not as whatever they are currently doing forever).
‘I am happy that I am this way though and couldn’t imagine it otherwise.’
