Self-Suggestibility

ADHD & Marriage News - July 26, 2024

Quote of the Week

“I want to talk to you about my favorite part of ADHD- self-suggestibility….When I’m playing a particular piece of music, all of a sudden another melody will come into my mind because I’m suggestible – it’s self-suggestibility….Another aspect will come in, and I’m so off the rails that I create something that’s entirely unique. (Take the Bach Cello Suite Number One Prelude in G Major…). He wrote it for one cello. As an ADHD kid I thought ‘What if I added seven more cello parts to the one part Bach wrote?’ On my first album, the unaccompanied version got 10 million streams. But the ADHD version of this tune has over 150 million streams…”

- Steven Sharp Nelson, cellist and member of The Piano Guys

I LOVE this idea. It’s loving the journey from one point to another as much as you love getting to the destination…and it’s one of the most awesome parts of ADHD.

I won’t write more here, but rather let you go to the youtube link and experience this yourself.
