I've been teaching a class on this (strengths based pedagogy) as well as other conditions in education interventions and I use a diagnosed friend of mine as an example.

Cons of ADHD: he's got mad impulsivity to the point that he'll show up on my doorstep on random weekends with minimal notification (he lives in another state).

Pros of ADHD: mother fucker's hyper focus put him as lead of a student team that sent a robot to the moon.

He still takes meds now, though, cause the cons to get in the way. There are only so many times I'm willing to give him my hoodie just because he gave his only one to a homeless person out of impulsive charity and got cold.
