ADHD is often labeled a disorder, but what if it’s a unique trait—one that served our ancestors in vital ways? This perspective shifts our understanding of ADHD from being something to “fix” to something that was once essential for survival. People with ADHD possess qualities like quick reflexes, heightened sensitivity, and the ability to adapt swiftly, traits that made them excellent hunters and gatherers in ancient times. These qualities are not flaws but are instead superpowers in a different context.

Modern society, however, isn’t designed to accommodate this wiring. The rigid structures of the educational system and workplace often fail to recognize the value of this natural adaptability, labeling it as a disorder instead. This disconnect between ancient traits and modern systems illustrates the deeper struggle many face as they try to conform to an industrialized world that doesn’t align with their inherent abilities.

Rather than seeing ADHD as a problem, perhaps it’s time to reevaluate how we define normal and what systems we build to support a diverse range of minds. How can we create environments that nurture this kind of brilliance? Let’s reflect on this together and share how ADHD has shaped your perspective or life. 🌱🧠

/ Ursula Le Guin /
"The creative adult is the child who has survived."
"Ursula Kroeber Le Guin was an American author best known for her works of speculative fiction, including science fiction works set in her Hainish universe, and the Earthsea fantasy series. She was first published in 1959, and her literary career spanned nearly sixty years, producing more than twenty novels and over a hundred short stories, in addition to poetry, literary criticism, translations, and children's books. Frequently described as an author of science fiction, Le Guin has also been called a "major voice in American Letters". Le Guin said she would prefer to be known as an "American novelist". Le Guin was born in Berkeley, California, to author Theodora Kroeber and anthropologist Alfred Louis Kroeber. Having earned a master's degree in French, Le Guin began doctoral studies but abandoned these after her marriage in 1953 to historian Charles Le Guin."
