Sam Thompson: ADHD is a "Superpower"

Former *Made In Chelsea

star Sam Thompson, recently diagnosed with ADHD, is championing awareness for the condition. In a tearful appearance on Monday's *This Morning*, Thompson, now ADHD UK's official ambassador, offered heartfelt advice to a young girl struggling with the disorder.

Thompson, who received his ADHD diagnosis at the age of 30, is passionate about shifting negative perceptions surrounding the condition. He encourages open conversations and aims to leave a lasting impact through his advocacy.

During the *This Morning

segment, he urged the young girl to embrace ADHD as a "superpower," a term he frequently uses to describe the condition. "I struggled with things I wasn't interested in," he shared, reflecting on his own experiences, "but excelled in subjects like ancient history that I loved. You can use it to your advantage."

Thompson's commitment to spreading positivity about ADHD stems from his personal journey. Diagnosed with ADHD and autism after appearing on his Channel 4 documentary "Is This ADHD?" last year, he has been vocal about his experience. He first disclosed his condition during an episode of *I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!

where he stated that he wasn't ashamed of his diagnosis.

Thompson's advocacy is a beacon of hope for individuals grappling with ADHD. He hopes to normalize the condition, encouraging individuals to see it not as a burden, but as a unique strength. His message resonates with individuals struggling with the condition, promoting a positive and empowering approach to ADHD.
