We are a tribe of people whose way of thinking is different -- and increasingly frustrated by modern society’s preference for linear thinking. Linear thinking is well-suited to the data-driven, multi-tasking, get-it-done-now 21st Century. We ultimately tend to be Lateral Thinkers.
We ADDers tend to be more right-brain dominant than non-ADDers, and right-brain dominance is associated with what Dr. Edward DeBono defined as Lateral Thinking: “a way of thinking which seeks the solution to problems through unorthodox methods which would normally be ignored by logical thinking.”
DaVinci had hundreds if not thousands of unfinished projects; yet was perhaps the most diversely talented man of all time. Einstein despised the conformity of school; probably did his homework the night before it was due. Thomas Edison – one of his teachers called him unteachable and “addled”, a 19th century word for ‘totally f’d up’.
