Supermodel, TV star, and "Halloween Queen" Heidi Klum is proof that you really can have it all!
At 52, the mother of four has revealed a shocking medical diagnosis that she uses to balance her legendary career with her personal life.
“I have a form of ADHD. I see it as something positive because it allows me to do more things at once. It's my superpower,” Klum said.
“Maybe it's instinct – or just my own idea. 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 taking on more,” said the “Germany’s Next Top Model” star highlighting how she considers the disorder to be one of her greatest strengths.
ADHD, short for attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder, is a common developmental disorder in which individuals can have difficulty paying attention; become hyperactive, even at inappropriate times; and act impulsively.

Last summer, ahead of her return to season 21 of “Project Runway”, Klum spoke about how she continues to make the most out of life.
“I’m a workaholic, control freak,” she said of her many hats. “I've been so focused with the shows that I have been doing and making sure that everything that comes out of them looks good. I love what I do.”
And as she gets older, she has no plans of stopping or making herself small to fit anyone’s idea of how women in their 50s should behave.
“The biggest misconception [about] being in your 50s is that you are off the shelf. You’re not off the shelf,” Klum said. “We are very much on that shelf for everyone to see. Don’t hide in your 50s. Beauty is ever-changing, and I’m here for the change. If it’s always the same, life is boring.”
