My Speech about having ADHD and ASD

 


Having ADHD and ASD

My name is Asher Seaton and I want to talk to you about having ADHD which stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and ASD which is Autism Spectrum Disorder. I think for ASD I will mostly talk about Asperger’s Syndrome. I actually have both.

Some of these may be correct about Me and some may not

Some of the symptoms for people with ADHD are self focused behaviour, interrupting, trouble waiting for their turn, getting emotional, fidgeting, problems playing quietly, unfinished tasks, lack of focus, avoiding tasks, making mistakes, daydreaming, trouble getting organised and forgetfulness.Some of these I have, Some I don’t.

With Asperger’s Syndrome It is often paired with ADHD.

Symptoms of ASD And ADHD (and Asperger’s too!)

Here are symptoms of Asperger’s Syndrome (Some of these are me,but some are not (I’ll wiggle my right pinky for the ones that are me ) ((Or underline)):Difficulty with changes in routines,Challenges with sympathy,Engaging in stereotype,repetitive behaviors (There are reasons for this),   Extreme focus on specific topic of interest,Hypersensitivity to sensory “assaults”,

Argument 3 (give examples and research backing up your opinion)

Good things about these disorders

Famous people who accomplished incredible things (or just famous) who have these disorders:

  Here are two categories, Rumored and Diagnosed (these are Asperger’s Syndrome from ASD) :

Rumored:

 Bill Gates, The Richest man in the world and the creator of the company Microsoft,

Albert Einstein,(You should know who this is)

Charles Darwin,The creator of the theory of Evolution

Steve Jobs,Creator Of the company Apple

Sir Isaac Newton,Creator of the theory of Gravity

Thomas Edison,The creator of the Lightbulb

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, (or just Mozart), Guess who this is

Nikola Tesla,Creator of the Tesla Coil

Lewis Carrol,Author of Alice in Wonderland

Mark Twain,

 Thomas Jefferson,

Vincent Van Gogh,Creator of the painting Starry Night and others

Michelangelo,

Schulz,(I think) The Creator of the Peanuts cartoon

Sir Anthony Hopkins,

Michael Jackson,

Etc.

Diagnosed:

Courtney Love,

Jerry Seinfeld,

And more……….

Dav pilkey has ADHD…...And he is the Author (or Author illustrator) of Captain Underpants, And Dog Man,And Ricky Ricotta,And...The Dumb Bunnies......Etc

Conclusion (summarise your 3 key points, restate your opinion e.g, I think)Having ADHD or ASD (or both) is okay……(Except with one kind of ASD)....In fact having Asperger’s Syndrome actually makes you more creative than the average person!
