ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER BY MICHAEL FITZGERALD

ABOUT THE BOOK
There is a great deal of information on the negative aspects of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder but very little on the positive aspects or the potentially creative aspects of this disorder. This is of enormous importance to, not alone academics, but parents and families of persons with this disorder. This book focuses on the positive aspects of ADHD. It appears that there is an overlap between the genes for ADHD and creativity. Famous ADHD suffers examined include the explorers Wilfred Thesiger and Sir Walter Raleigh. From a literary perspective, Mark Twain is discussed. In the other fields, Richard Wagner is discussed as well as Picasso, Paul Gaugain, Peggy Guggenheim and Kurt Cobain.
