You make it sound like it is a bad thing when in fact it’s just the current perception in our modern super productivity culture. I sometimes wonder what would the world cultural heritage look like without the contribution of various people who we’d now pathologise with ADHD.
Parent didn't say anything bad about ADHD. This reflects your own interpretation.
To the contrary, I'm a person with ADHD, and most days I'm thankful for it. But I also do have a huge amount of started or sketched side projects, that I wish I had the will power to finish, but I don't.
P.S. ADHD is not a sickness/illness. It's differently wired brain.
You seem to be the only one here pathologising ADHD.
Pathologising ADHD? Can you actually read? Im saying the opposite in my comment
Leonardo would be valued in our culture. After all, he was insanely productive and his failures were better than most people's successes. What we pathologize is people who can't get anything significant done, and who don't have the social capital to make it work.
