The Speed Trap

Do you get caught up in the belief that if you don’t respond to a question or a request with a quick or speedy answer, you will be considered slow and stupid?

Many people with ADHD feel this way.


They have a belief that your ability and intelligence is measured by how quickly you are able to provide answers, solutions or successfully perform in a variety of different academic, workplace and home situations.

When you do things quickly and correctly you are perceived as a superior performer.

It is not true.

How fast you respond and do things is not a sign of your ability or intelligence.
