  Sir Richard Branson has spoken candidly about his dyslexia and ADHD-like traits. Easily bored, constantly curious, and driven by instinct, Branson built the Virgin empire by embracing risk and thinking differently.

But she embraced her diagnosis publicly, saying, “Having ADHD and taking medicine for it is nothing to be ashamed of.” Her ability to hyperfocus during routines, her resilience under pressure, and her physical energy all reflect ADHD traits. Biles turned what others saw as a limitation into a superpower—earning seven Olympic medals and becoming a global advocate for mental health. Her flips defy gravity; her story defies stigma. ADHD didn’t hold her back—it helped her soar. This post was inspired by  Andrew's Awesome Adventures with His ADHD Brain   by Kristin and Andrew Wilcox.
