Just published on Aeon Magazine is a great feature about French philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau and the parallels journalist Richard Orange sees in his own ADHD – the article (for me at least) gives such a great description of what it's like to live with an ADHD mind: aeon.co/essays/was-rousseau-s-restless-genius-a-symptom-of-adhdShame about the headline.

I've just spotted, there's also a conversation thread attached to the article that I'm going to respond to. Aeon has lots of psychologists and psychiatrists that read it, so I see this as a good place for those with ADHD to stand up and be heard, and be able to argue our corner. The question it asks is 'Are the creative gifts that can be bestowed by ADHD worth the life impairments?' and the thread can be found here: aeon.co/conversations/are-the-creative-gifts-that-can-be-bestowed-by-adhd-worth-the-life-impairments
