I just turned 30, I just got off the phone with my old friend who was in the same SPED study halls as me and we got to catch up. It's no secret now. I use to doubt myself, doubt the fact that ADHD was some kind of super power, but it totally is.
I'm seeing it all take place in my life, allow me to explain.
Got off the phone with the one sped friend who I honestly thought was going to fall deep into drugs right? Wore wacky clothes, hung around the soda machine, got in trouble with the cops. Spun fire on a chain and liked magic tricks.
He's a super successful Lazer lights show manufacturer and distributor. Got offered to go hang at his lake house, massive, paid for, dream car in the garage, smoking hot wife who was also a soda pop hallway kid with the goth clothes, from a totally different state and their highschool photos look identical, complete soul mates.
So he informs me that the role model student that came #1 GPA in the whole school ended up on pain killers after a bad divorce (high school sweethearts.) Works at the local dollar store and a restaurant for tips. Would have NEVER thought he would have taken that route.
So I start thinking about all the other rejects that had terrible grades that everyone said would do terrible in life right???
He says. "Remember Tommy the kid who was perma fried on acid and blared headphones and had the slur?"
He's on tour with his favorite metal band as a sound engineer and he makes 180K a year, he's he's Hawaii on vacation, face times him; his slur is gone and he's super healthy.
What about the popular chick with the massive house that always has parties? "Heroin."
So he asks me, what do I do? I run private contracts, own both my rare dream cars, I smoke pot, listen to rock roll, have an amazing bachelor pad, single, no kids, everything's paid for in full. 135K a year. Dropped out first year of college after leaving highschool with like a 1.8 gpa, through my highschool diploma in the trash.
And he goes. "Bro, EVERYONE use to make fun of us in special Ed. I had literal panic attacks every night that I was a failure. And I realized after walking into my dream home with my wife and child waiting for me after a long trip on the road for major venues, that special Education kids just means YOU START VISUALIZING YOUR SUCCESSES AND MANIFESTING YOUR DESIRES QUICKER THAN EVERYONE ELSE, you ditched the curriculum because you saw the path before anyone else did. Look at all of us! Every single person from special Education is making over 100k a year. . .
Remember the kid that said he was gonna build Rollercoaster for a living??? And everyone always interrupted him and told to go ride a Rollercoaster every time he explained his plans, and he always got bummed out and bullied?
*Major Six Flags Rollercoaster designer, tester. Has aero companies considering his parts and service for their flight simulators.
At that moment, I knew.
