ADD can sometimes be a gift that's hard to unwrap. Let's celebrate the good things about ADD. This is a celebration, not a game!
In this challenge, name attributes of ADD that are gifts, or gifts that help the symptoms of ADD. Use the first or last letter of the previous gift to find the first letter of your gift. If you can't find a gift using just the first or last letter, use any letter in the current gift.
Attribute that is a gift = energy. Next letters would be E or Y. Adjectives with Y are rare, so you could use E, N, R, or G, as well as Y.
OR
A gift that can help the symptoms of ADD = capoeira. Next letters would be C or A OR use the letters P, O, E, I, or R.
I'll give it a go!
