From my other blog; I thought it worthy of a repost here 🙂
The following paragraph (from this article) distills in a less ADD way what I was trying to say…
Although ADHD is still classified a disorder because of the challenges individual’s face with it, I’m more convinced everyday that it is a way of thinking and processing the world that is so beneficial to humanity, we must turn our attention to it. In many ways, our attention has been focused only on the disorder side of the condition, at the expense of the strengths, and science is just beginning to discover what those strengths might be. There is a popular book out right now, The Black Swan, about how all major changes come from ‘outliers’ in the world of ideas, the strange and misunderstood ideas that don’t fit into conceptual frameworks of the day but prove to shift humanity to new heights.[From ”Thinking Outside the Box“, Creativity, Innovation and ADHD et al. | A Yuletide Apocalypse]
