  Though never formally diagnosed, many scholars believe Albert Einstein exhibited traits consistent with ADHD: forgetfulness, restlessness, and difficulty with traditional schooling. He was often labeled a poor student, yet his mind operated on a different frequency—one that saw the universe not as it was, but as it could be. Einstein’s ability to hyperfocus on abstract problems, his unconventional thinking, and his resistance to rigid systems all mirror ADHD strengths. His theories of relativity weren’t just scientific breakthroughs—they were acts of cognitive rebellion. Einstein’s legacy reframes ADHD not as disorder, but as divergence. His story invites us to see brilliance in the margins. post inspired by  Andrew's Awesome Adventures with His ADHD Brain  by Kristin Wilcox and Andrew Wilcox Book description: In this two-part book Andrew and his neuroscientist mom each tell their story about living with the inattentive subtype of ADHD.

  Dan Aykroyd, co-creator of  Ghostbusters , has spoken openly about his Asperger’s diagnosis. His intense interests in law enforcement and the paranormal—classic autistic traits—became the foundation for one of the most iconic films of the 1980s. His quick recall, quirky humor, and obsessive research helped shape his characters and scripts. Aykroyd didn’t suppress his traits—he wrote them into pop culture. Autism didn’t hold him back—it gave him a franchise.  His story is a celebration of eccentricity as creative fuel. Post inspired by Colette McNeil's books on autism:  Choice and Structure for Children with Autism .  Entienda el desafino de -no - en los ninos con autismo ,  and  Understanding the Challenge of "No" for Children with Autism   by Colette McNeil.  Read more posts about Colette and her books  HERE .
