In the heart of Limited Edition Land, where the rivers glisten like silver threads and the trees whisper ancient secrets, there lived a lively otter named Still. She was known for her quick wit, her boundless energy, and her love for exploring every nook and cranny of her watery world.

One day, Still’s teacher announced that each animal in the class would have to give a presentation about something unique about themselves. Still’s heart raced with excitement, but as she sat down to think about what to share, she realized that there was something about herself that made her different from the others: she had ADHD.

As the day of the presentations drew near, Still grew more nervous. How would her classmates react? Would they understand what ADHD was? Would they still want to be her friend?

Finally, the day arrived. Still took a deep breath and stood up in front of her classmates. “Hello, everyone,” she began. “My name is Still, and I have ADHD.”

She explained that ADHD stood for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. She told them that it meant her brain worked a little differently than others. Sometimes she had trouble paying attention or sitting still for long periods of time. But she also shared that ADHD made her creative, energetic, and great at coming up with new ideas.

To help her classmates understand better, Still compared her brain to a river. “Just like a river flows quickly and sometimes changes direction suddenly, my thoughts can be fast and change quickly too,” she explained.

To her relief, her classmates listened attentively. Some of them nodded, recognizing moments when Still’s description matched their own experiences. They asked questions, and Still answered them with honesty and patience.

At the end of her presentation, Still felt a sense of relief and pride. She had shared something important about herself, and her classmates had listened and understood. They even applauded her, impressed by her courage and honesty.

From that day on, Still felt more confident in herself. She knew that having ADHD was just a part of who she was, and that her friends accepted her for all of her wonderful qualities, quirks and all. And as she dove back into the river, she did so with a renewed sense of joy, knowing that she was swimming through life with friends who supported her, just the way she was.
