Love these! I also had a late diagnosis of ADHD and I have a kiddo with ADHD too. It's been so important to me to not just teach him (and myself!) how to manage it but also to show him all the good things that come along with it, and there are definitely good things!
I’m loving these little tidbits, especially this: “an explorer gene overrepresented among people with ADHD and shown to be linked to increased creativity and divergent thinking.” The idea of an explorer gene makes me smile, like some little critter in me carrying a backpack is always pushing me into new territory.:)

Thanks! Yes, I don’t think kids hear it enough. And we need reminders too sometimes.

Yes, an explorer gene! I'm having fun finding these things. Glad you're enjoying them!
