Heidi Klum talked this week about her neurodevelopmental condition.
The 52-year-old star told Glamour Germany magazine that she has a 'form of ADHD.'
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning, according to the Mayo Clinic.
The German supermodel and TV host has not let it hold her back, but rather she celebrates it. 'It's my superpower,' Klum declared as she refuses to let the diagnosis limit her.
'I'm very hyperactive because of my ADHD. I can do a thousand different things at once. I work on many projects simultaneously and keep loading on even more.'
Other stars who have ADHD are Paris Hilton, Justin Timberlake and Solange Knowles. Hilton has also said that her ADHD is like a 'superpower.'

Klum celebrated Glamour Germany's 25th anniversary in a sheer white lace dress with a push-up bra design.
She wore her blonde hair straight as she had pink-toned makeup and pale pink nails.
'She's the OG GLAMOUR cover star – 25 years later, she's coming back for our anniversary: Heidi Klum. Heidi has been an advocate for Female Empowerment for over three decades,' wrote the publication.
'For GLAMOUR's 25th anniversary, she talks to Head of Editorial Content @theresa.pichler about power, courage, motherhood and endurance and why true strength has nothing to do with hardness. Still iconic. Still unstoppable.'
In 2022 Klum shared her condition while filming the show Password.
'My little dance helps me because I have ADD/ADHD,' she said to NBC News. 'I have to do a lot of things to keep me focused in a way.'
According to Klum, the most challenging aspect about being on game shows is the pressure to perform well.

WHAT IS ADHD?
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that typically begins in childhood and often lasts into adulthood. It affects how the brain manages attention, impulses, and energy levels, resulting in symptoms like difficulty staying on task, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
It is not a lack of focus, but rather a challenge in controlling it.
There are three main types: predominantly inattentive (difficulty focusing, organizing), predominantly hyperactive-impulsive (fidgeting, restlessness), and combined.
Common behaviors include being easily distracted, difficulty finishing tasks, interrupting others, always being 'on the go,' and acting without thinking.
'It's different from sitting on the couch and not being under pressure,' she explained.
'And then all of a sudden you have the pressure, and you have the word, and you're like, "Oh my gosh, how can I make my partner…you know, come up with the word?"'
Klum is now filming the 22nd season of the show Project Runway.
She has been a judge on America's Got Talent' for 11 seasons. She is also appearing on the 21st season of Germany's next Top Model.
Her son Henry Samuel, 20 - whose father is Klum's ex-husband Seal - shas said in the past that he was severely affected by ADHD as a child.
Last year Klum said she and her husband Tom Kaulitz 'felt great' after completing a worm and parasite cleanse.
The model has no idea if the wellness trend - which involves taking herbal supplements - actually ridded them of worms or parasites and admitted it was a 'yucky' process, but insists she and the 36-year-old musician felt good afterwards.
She told People: 'So many people asked me, too, like "What happened?" I'm like, "I don't even know if anything happened!"
'It just felt good ... just if there are any [worms or parasites], then I hope that they were leaving the body, because I hear so many people talk about this all the time.'

She went on: 'It's easier to do this with a partner in the morning because you have to drink this weird stuff.
'It's all herbal, but nonetheless it's yucky and you have to do this routine of doing it every day in order to kill it in all of the eggs, apparently.
'You have to do two rounds instead of two weeks. We did two rounds in order to hopefully kill eggs and things. But yeah, we felt great afterwards.'
