"I've known my behaviour over the past decade has not been 'normal'. I've often questioned whether I have some personality disorder, deep-rooted psychological trauma, or just a brain that isn’t quite wired up right.
"I've been impulsive and borderline addicted , and have made some very questionable decisions. But these weren't decisions, they were compulsions, because of the neurological functioning inside my head," he continued.Sam Thompson on his ADHD documentary and the "most challenging moment" filming John's post went on to state that he thinks having the condition "is not all bad" for him and that knowing he has ADHD has been very important, writing: "I truly believe it's my ADHD that has allowed me to become so obsessed and focused on things I like, that I work hard at them until I'm burnt out.
"While burn-out isn't great, the skills I've garnered and career paths I've taken along the way, have been a huge part of my strength and success. "And I'm grateful for those chances and opportunities. But I’m even more grateful for the knowledge that I have ADHD.
