Creative Thinking and ADHD

Creativity can be a personal strength for people with ADHD. Making connections and exploring ideas can take many forms. Everyone’s strengths are different. Use these invitations however you like: think, write, talk them through or skip them.

The possibility generator

Choose an invitation. There is no timer, score or correct answer.

What could a cardboard box become, apart from a container?

My thought, however unfinished

Turn the idea another way

Choose a question to look at your idea from a different angle.

An idea does not have to be finished to be worth exploring.

When creativity feels difficult

You do not have to feel creative today. Rest, familiar tasks, company or a smaller prompt may suit you better. An ordinary practical solution can be creative too. You do not need an unusual idea to justify your strengths or support needs.

If possibilities start to feel overwhelming, you can download the collection, choose one small step, or leave it for another time.
