I fucking don’t. It’s one struggle after another despite ADHD meds. I don’t think I’ve ever had a superpower or even close. I’m a Jill of all trades: can turn my hand to everything I try and do it reasonably well but I never excel at anything. Nothing positive anyway.
My son is being assessed for autism and the psychiatrist said to me last week that all this talk of superpowers is great at focusing on strengths but it can downplay the struggles people have.
A friend says she loves the way I see the world, as in the details that others miss, but that’s hardly a superpower.
I’m not sure that talk of superpowers is good for children who don’t have any either. It could feel like yet another thing they are failing at as though they aren’t doing autism or ADHD to a good enough standard.
Do you or your child have a superpower? You don’t have to share what it is, I’m just interested to see if people do actually have them. Maybe it was something to try and make ND people seem less “weird” to others or feel better about themselves. Just musing.
