What is ADHD?
Using the word "is" to describe ADHD is already a tricky endeavor, because there is no clarity in the scientific domain as to what its origins really are. It is rather discussed as a collection of traits and phenomena that lie on a spectrum with a somewhat arbitrary yet reasonable decision where on this spectrum, that everybody is on, ADHD begins.
ADHD/ADD is a condition marked by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which can disrupt various aspects of life, from personal relationships to professional success. One of the key challenges for those with ADHD is managing executive functions, like controlling impulses and maintaining focus. The origins of ADHD are complex and not fully agreed upon. Some theories emphasize a genetic basis, suggesting that certain traits linked to ADHD might have provided advantages in ancient environments. Others focus on developmental factors, particularly how early life experiences and trauma may shape the brain in ways that contribute to ADHD symptoms.
Rather than viewing these perspectives as mutually exclusive, this course takes an integrative approach, recognizing that both genetic predispositions and developmental influences play a role in ADHD. By understanding this complexity, we can develop strategies to leverage the strengths associated with ADHD while addressing the challenges it presents.
My current (drastically simplified for ease of reading) hypothesis is that ADHD has a genetic predisposition, which originates in highly potent evolutionary adaptations that have the purpose to increase the genetic diversity of a tribe, with certain individuals specialized in expanding the boundaries and cultural narratives of the tribe, as hunters, warriors, explorers, inventors, poets, philosophers, shamans and mystics through extremely heightened sensitivity, focus, risk proclivity, curiosity and mental flexibility.

Would you like to turn your untapped superpowers into focus, clarity and success?
In this training you will learn to:
Begin to see ADHD as a potential to be extraordinary
Regulate your nervous system and develop self-leadership
Challenge the limiting "disorder" narrative
Create fulfilling relationships that are aligned with your natural way of being
Learn to support your brain with the nutrients it requires for being focused
Develop a capacity for deep presence and embodiment to enjoy life more fully
Learn powerful behavioral protocols to increase natural dopamine levels
Take an approach that fills you with purpose, instead of just making you productive
Respond to life’s challenges with clarity, agency and self-leadership
Develop more intentional deep focus and motivation to fulfill YOUR dreams
I too have spent most of my life trapped in the vicious cycle of shame, guilt, frustration, and disconnection — feelings that anyone with ADHD knows all too well.
"You are lazy. You're not disciplined. You're not listening. You're a mess. Just try a to-do list." I too have heard these criticisms and "helpful" pieces of advice throughout my life and know the pain and shame they bring, as well as the frustration when none of those tips work.
Things changed drastically for me when I started approaching ADHD with the very curiosity it gifted me to develop a syncretic approach that not only understands ADHD from a holistic ecological perspective but also employs tools and protocols to thrive with it.
By exploring the blind spots of Western medicine, I began to weave together frameworks that create a deeper understanding of the complexity of life, like systems theory, developmental psychology, deep ecology, evolutionary biology, interpersonal neurobiology, neuroscience, trauma, polyvagal theory, integral theory, biohacking protocols, into a holistic framework for understanding ADHD.
Combined with a new understanding of the real role of dopamine in reward, motivation, and effort, things started to click and I saw a beautiful pattern emerge: Humanity has in fact received a huge gift with this neurotype, vastly contributing to the progress of humanity, and we haven't even started unwrapping it fully yet.
In this course We will dive Deeply into...
...the new science of dopamine and motivation, create conducive habits to become hyper-focused, learn to manage our attention, get tips on supportive nutrition and supplements, and explore how to use somatic tools and trauma integration approaches to take back control.
We'll stop the spiral of shame and guilt and turn the "curse" into a gift by further developing the executive functions in our prefrontal cortex that stalled in our childhood because we didn't receive the specific attention we needed.

Module
Rewriting Our Story: What ADHD Really Is, and What It Isn't
Are you tired of the misconceptions and bad advice surrounding ADHD? In our first week, we'll debunk myths, unpack the common symptoms and complex nature of ADHD, and dive into the fascinating neurobiology behind this condition. But this journey isn't just about understanding ADHD — it's about reclaiming it.
We'll explore the untapped potential of ADHD, examining the evolutionary intelligence that underpins this unique neurotype. By the end of this module, you'll adopt a new term for ADHD that highlights its incredible potential and empowers you to see it as a gift, not a burden.
My current proposal is "ECHO," which stands for "Explorative and Creative Hyperfocus Orientation", aiming to break the disorder narrative and shift our focus towards understanding this perceptual orientation.
Because it is a potential, not an automatic superpower, it needs conscious cultivation to develop into a gift instead of growing unchecked into a hindrance. This is our objective in the subsequent modules.
Clear all misconceptions about ADHD and learn what factors contribute to turn it into a dysfunctional condition, and how to reverse this.
Understand the most common symptoms, why they emerge, and how to counteract them!
Discover the untapped potential of ADHD by focusing on its strengths.
ADHD requires a mindset of essentialism to manage focus, purpose and passion
Greg McKeown popularized the idea of essentialism as an approach to business, strategy and relationships in the book of the same name, arguing for a disciplined pursuit of less to increase efficacy and clarity in one's life with the concept of prioritizing what's truly important and eliminating the non-essential.
By concentrating on fewer tasks, you can achieve greater impact and satisfaction with a mindset of setting clear boundaries, saying "no" more often, and creating space for meaningful activities.
This philosophy has already transformed millions of lives, but it is especially potent for anyone on the ADHD spectrum for two big reasons:
1. Our superpowers are met: The essentialist approach requires a profound dedication to exploration. Where the non-essentialist jumps on every opportunity and says yes to everything, the essentialist knows how important it is to separate the vital few from the trivial many through deep exploration of all options. People on the ADHD spectrum are absolute masters of exploration.
2. Our biggest nemesis is disarmed: Spreading ourselves too thin and lacking the capacity to choose where to put our attention on can create a lot of chaos for anyone on the spectrum. The essentialist approach gives our excitement, curiosity and passion guide-rails that help us to funnel our boundless energy into the fewer things that really matter.
With practical advice on how to streamline one's life and work to focus on what really matters, this module promotes a more intentional and fulfilling approach to productivity and personal well-being.
Become a master of exploration and learn how to leverage your curiosity to create more focus and not less
Concentrate your energy on the few things that really matter, to build a life that gets you were you want to be
Find deep joy by using your passion to go deep, instead of spreading yourself too thin and not getting anywhere
Emotional Regulation & Trauma
Developmental trauma often contributes to the formation of ADHD as a dysfunctional condition. In this module, we'll focus on the significance of emotional regulation in ADHD. We'll also explore the roles of shame, guilt, and depression, and learn how to set effective boundaries.
By understanding trauma and affect regulation, and their impacts on our executive functioning, specifically in the orbitofrontal cortex, we continue our journey toward emotional maturity and full self-leadership.
Learn potent tools for affect regulation and setting boundaries, essential skills for anyone with ADHD.
Develop your executive functioning in a lasting way to turn your plans and intentions into action!
End the vicious cylce of fear, shame and guilt and find joy in experiencing the present moment in an ecstatic body, here and now.
The New Science of Dopamine and Motivation
Ever wondered what drives your actions and decisions? Enter the fascinating world of neurotransmitters in our third module.
We'll demystify dopamine, the critical component of motivation and reward, and delve into the role of the "here and now" neurotransmitters for real pleasure (hedonic reward).
Understanding these aspects can unlock a wealth of knowledge about your behavior, opening doors to improved focus, productivity, and overall satisfaction in life.
With this insight you will understand effort, motivation and drive and become the chief motivation officer in your own life with ease!
Clear the misunderstandings about dopamine, which is all about motivation, not pleasure!
Understand the brain fog you sometimes find yourself in and how to get rid of it!
Know when to push and when to pause, allowing you to escape the cycle of burnout and enjoy life effortlessly.
Habit Hacking
Fully exploit dopamine's power for your own success! This module introduces practical techniques to cultivate healthier habits that help manage ADHD.
From mastering "Dopamine Hygiene" to leveraging behavioral hacks, to nurturing focus habits, you'll learn various strategies designed to enhance productivity and minimize distractions.
We'll also explore the critical role of nutrition and optimal health for the ADHD neurotype, ensuring your physical well-being complements your cognitive and emotional health. We'll discuss how to organize your environment and daily routines to cultivate clarity and hyperfocus.
Develop productivity and neuro-hygiene habits that make effort feel easy instead of creating even more unachievable goals and expectations!
Elevate your dopamine baseline through simple yet profound behavior and nutrition hacks that set you up for success!
Create individual emergency protocols to help you regain focus and emotional stability when you find yourself off-track.
Relationships & ADHD
Living with ADHD can pose unique challenges in romantic relationships and friendships. This module equips you with tools to navigate intricate social dynamics and foster a culture of mutual understanding, compassion, and curiosity.
Through open conversations about ADHD's impact on relationships and social interactions, you'll gain effective strategies to inform your environment, and foster a sense of connection, empathy, and understanding with those around you.
Learn to create the interfaces you need to translate your way of being for others and invite them into your beautiful mind with honesty and compassion.
Stop the masking of who you are and educate your environment how to be with you! Create mutual understanding instead of shame and confusion!
Clarify expectations at work to prevent disconnection and conflict.
Honor your relational needs instead of trying to be someone you're not, allowing you to engage with others authentically and joyfully.
Finding Your Own Way
In our concluding week, the spotlight turns toward envisioning a future where ADHD doesn't define you but empowers you.
You'll learn to shift your perception of ADHD, cultivate pride in your neurodiversity, and uncover strategies to develop your unique gifts.
We'll also investigate your unique relationship to purpose, and how your innate passion and curiosity serve as evolutionary drivers directing you towards it.
This module acts as the foundational stepping stone for your ongoing journey toward acceptance, personal growth, and empowerment—a journey that truly begins once the course concludes.
Cultivate a sense of pride for your unique neurological design and the potential it holds.
Connect to your sense of purpose and harness your passion, desire, and curiosity as evolutionary drivers guiding you toward it.

Inspiring Hope and Empowerment
I am incredibly grateful for the transformative experience I had during the weekend retreat at "Attention Berlin" I participated in May led by Lennart. The retreat was challenging in many ways, as it prompted me to delve into a dimly problematic area of my life.
Throughout the retreat, I confronted feelings of familiarity, guilt, and shame that had been lingering in my life, and I now see them more clearly than ever before. Lennart orchestrated the weekend with a remarkable sense of balance and thoughtful planning. The material presented during the retreat was well-researched and very informative, easily accessible and conveyed in a clear and understandable manner.
What truly sets Lennart apart is his personal connection to the problem at hand, as he draws from his own lived experiences. This allows him to approach the challenges with a profoundly positive outlook, inspiring hope and empowerment within all of us. Under Lennart's guidance, I gained valuable insights into my own life and discovered a newfound strength to confront and overcome obstacles.
I wholeheartedly recommend Lennart as a retreat leader to anyone seeking personal growth and transformation. His unique ability to combine personal experiences, a positive mindset, and effective communication make him a remarkable facilitator.

A creative approach that doesn't work against my nature
Lennart's workshop offer came at just the right moment. I longed for an exchange with people who understand my experiences, a holistic view of ADHD, and new, more creative approaches that don't work against my nature, but with it.
Lennart's ATTENTION workshop was super important and healing for me. I have found comfort, connection, relief, fun, clarity, inspiration, hope and a more differentiated and somatic approach to dealing with myself and my brain. Very specific. And a community. That's quite a lot and I'm grateful for it.
What made it safe and so valuable for me was specifically that we started on the ground of radical acceptance and appreciation of neurodivergence. And that it was about self-agency, about gaining my ability to act in a neuro-atypical way, not about adjustment, fixing, unrestrained self-optimization.
It was so special to connect with other ADHD people on the subject for the first time in a group setting. I didn't expect how big this effect would be for me. I felt so "right", so at ease. The exchange, recognizing each other, sharing all the otherwise strange behaviors, connecting in humor and in the pain, that was deeply felt by everyone, was touching, powerful, relieving. I want to continue that.
It was also essential for me that Lennart as a teacher, spaceholder and companion with experience and knowledge revealed himself personally and vulnerably as a person with ADHD. With his lived expertise, with the neuro-atypical perception, the super powers, the skills, barriers, nerdy things, with the failures and the pain. That was beautiful, made learning and accepting easier and inspired me to be even more open about my ADHD at work.

Educational and Inspiring
I had the privilege of attending Lennart's workshop ATTENTION, and I can confidently say that it was a transformative experience. Lennart's deep understanding of the condition, coupled with his passion for empowering individuals with neurodiversity, created an environment that was both educational and inspiring.
From the moment the workshop began, Lennart skillfully broke down the misconceptions and societal stigmas surrounding ADHD. He encouraged us to challenge the prevailing narratives and embrace the unique gifts and potential that come with ADHD. It was a refreshing perspective that allowed me to shed self-doubt and truly believe in my abilities.
One of the most valuable aspects of the workshop was Lennart's exploration of emotional regulation and trauma, and how they are intricately connected to ADHD. He provided us with powerful somatic tools that enabled me to break the cycle of dysregulation, impulsivity, and lack of motivation and control. These tools were practical and effective, offering a new path towards self-mastery.

Weaving many threads into a systemic big whole
In his teachings, Lennart had the immense capacity to expand the contextual space into all directions in a holistic way, without artificially reducing the complexity. That was so beneficial. He has connected many different perspectives - neurobiological, chemical, trauma-informed, somatic, social, systemic - that otherwise stand aside as separate conceptual entities, meaningfully and with a perspective on concrete application. Thus weaving the many threads into a wearable material and into the systemic big whole that can absorb all contradictions.
With his clear and warm presence he navigated us through this space - and everything that came up in the group's resonance found a place in it. So it didn't remain an intellectual lecture, but was a group experience in “both and” of almost hypnotic quality. Very difficult for me to put into words. It created a deep sense of calm and peace within me that has stayed.
The most important thing for me was Lennart's attitude towards pain, which is avoided often, but is inevitably always there, in effort and confrontation or in avoidance and procrastination. Seeing this illusion of freedom from pain consciously dissolved and being encouraged to seek truthfulness with courage resonated deep within me. To turn resistance into pain that goes with it. This helps me specifically when it becomes real and hurts.

A Game Changer
Lennart's explanation of the science behind dopamine and its role in motivation was a game-changer. Understanding the neurochemical processes at play helped me develop a deeper awareness of my own motivations and how to harness them effectively. The strategies for habit formation and navigating relationships were equally enlightening, they equipped me with practical tools to succeed in my personal and professional life.
What truly set Lennart's workshop apart was his emphasis on integrating our unique neurodiversity into a fulfilling and authentic life. He celebrated our differences and taught us how to leverage them as strengths. Through his guidance, I learned to embrace my inner superheroes and rise above other peoples expectations, inspiring me to create a life that aligns with my true self.
Lennart's expertise, compassion, and ability to connect with each participant on a personal level were truly remarkable. His workshop was a safe space where we could share our experiences, learn from one another, and grow together. The sense of community and support that emerged from the workshop was invaluable and continues to inspire me in my journey.
I wholeheartedly recommend Lennart's workshop to anyone seeking to unlock their full potential and embrace their ADHD as a source of strength. It is a life-changing experience that will equip you with the tools, knowledge, and mindset needed to thrive in a world that often misunderstands neurodiversity. Lennart's dedication to empowering individuals with ADHD is nothing short of extraordinary, and I am grateful to have been a part of this transformative journey.

An intense kickstart that will reverberate within me for a long time
I was amazed by the research spirit with which Lennart observed himself and his dopamine levels and tried out field experiments over months to find out which hacks and neurodivergent strategies help to support and regulate them. I was familiar with the focus on the body's somatic signals from trauma work, but to relate to my ADHD brain in this way or to pay attention to my own balance between left and right hemisphere activity was new to me and super helpful.
In awareness exercises, I learned how to consciously bring about the change, which gave me a sense of self-efficacy. And now I'm more aware of when the "super skills" are really helpful for my goal and when they are dissuading me from it, disguised as a great idea. Very small, subtle shifts in perception that take practice and work, but are already making a difference.
Lennart has shared his practical experiences, hacks and protocols, like a morning routine, or a routine to get out of vicious cycles, so that we have a starting point, an idea of what it can look like and everyone can adapt it for themselves. Since establishing routines is often extremely difficult, it was good to have Lennart as a model of how he worked it out to live with ADHD. He also set up a community where we can all stay connected, share our celebrations, struggles, hacks and tools and keep in touch. The structure is great, everything has a place in it and can be found again!
The workshop was an intense kickstart that will reverberate within me for a long time. And I am very excited to continue this work in the six week online program with Lennart and the extended group and more time!

I came for the life hacks and quickly realized, that what I would find was so much more.
I came for the life hacks and quickly realized, that what I would find was so much more. The workshop was at the same time challenging (in the best kind of way) eye opening and mostly giving me new perspectives which I didn’t even know I needed.
Coming into the circle I immediately realized that these aren’t the lazy slackers I often used to to view myself as. Through uncovering layers of shame and other uncomfortable feelings, I found an inner peace and acceptance I haven’t felt in a long while.
For me it was a powerful community experience that gave me new hope and direction which I highly recommend for anyone affected by ADHD or wanting to understand more about the topic. And if you’re looking for life hacks, you’ll find those as well :)

You don’t need be a skilled self-development expert to take this journey
You just need the right ingredients
If you've tried numerous other trainings and find yourself wondering, "Why would this work for me now?" you're not alone. The self-development market is crowded, with myriad offerings all claiming to have the answer.
Yet, many courses fall short of providing the essentials for lasting growth, often due to an incomplete understanding of human development. True transformation is an integrative and vulnerable process that must encompass the mind, nervous system, body, soul, heart, and spirit — not just pile on more knowledge.
That's why our training employs a holistic approach, combining knowledge, awareness, and direct bodily experience to enable a more integrated and stable state of being. We are using five key ingredients for human growth, mindfully interwoven into an experience that will last.
My five key ingredients for lasting growth:
Insight: The foundational yet partial truths that help your mind surrender to the journey and provide clarity about its purpose.
Overview: A proven map for human development that guides you through your journey.
Attention and presence: The way out of the maze of illusions into a direct experience of an interdependent cosmos.
Embodiment: A fully visceral experience that enables profound integration through a deep sense of safety and connection.
Authenticity: The perfect blend of vulnerability and agency, allowing you to express yourself and your desires with integrity.
So, What exactly is ADHD?
In a drastically simplified perspective ADHD/ADD is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development. One of the most striking effects is a lack of executive functioning, which means for many individuals it is very hard or impossible to override emotional impulses with a conscious executive decision and choose what to focus on.
Common symptoms include difficulty sustaining focus, careless mistakes, and forgetfulness. Hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms involve excessive fidgeting, restlessness, talking excessively, and interrupting others. These seemingly harmless symptoms can have devastating effects on an individuals relational an professional life and impact their self-esteem and confidence significantly.
But where does it come from? Unfortunately, or rather expectedly, there is no single agreed upon answer to this important question in the scientific or the therapeutic community. There exist a wide range of hypothesis. Genetical factors, neurological differences, neurochemical imbalances, environmental factors, prenatal and early life influences, diet and nutrition, psychological and social factors, parenting and family environment, educational and social systems failure are all discussed as potential culprits or contributors. Besides the environmental factor camp, the two main streams of discussion can be summarized as hereditary vs. developmental. The hereditary hypotheses mostly focus on genetic factors that are either the sole explanation or a strong predictor for ADHD. The developmental hypotheses look at different factors in the childhood of an individual that could be responsible for the condition. Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) and trauma as an origin of ADHD have been made popular especially by Dr. Gabor Maté's work and his book "Scattered Minds".
The Story of the Genes
The hereditary hypotheses (plural) of ADHD claim that the condition can be traced back to either a single or a group of genes that deviate from the non-ADHD population. There is no consensus wether those genes are a dysfunctional mutation, or if they are part of an ancient genetic adaptation that used to create a significant advantage in hunter gatherer societies.
What speaks for the hereditary hypotheses is that ADHD can often be observed to run through a family lineage.
While this could also be explained with a model of ancestral trauma, there are more interesting arguments for the hereditary hypotheses. Besides the fact that some studies have already shown that Polymorphisms within the DRD4 gene reliable, meta-analytic association with ADHD1, there is another striking argument: individuals with ADHD have shown to not only suffer from symptoms, but reportedly often have notable advantageous traits like hyper-focus, good memory, creativity, capacity to deal with heightened pressure, curiosity, and unique ways of thinking or quick thinking . One study showed that ADHD might be an advantage in nomadic environments.2
The Story of Trauma
The trauma hypotheses look at ADHD as an injury to the sense of self and identity, caused by developmental trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACE).
Trauma is, in its essence, a memory of an emotionally overwhelming experience that due to the experienced overwhelm was not properly encoded as a integrated memory and lacks crucial information, foremost that it is just a memory from the past. This leads to flashbacks were individuals emotionally fully re-experience the memory, not knowing that they are just remembering. If such traumatic experiences occur on a regular basis, typically during our childhood development, we talk about developmental trauma, or C-PTSD, which has a profound impact on our sense of self and identity.
The trauma hypotheses look at ADHD as a runaway coping mechanism that catapults the individual into a dissociated state when confronted with emotionally overwhelming tasks. These hypotheses are often, in my opinion unjustly, associated with the work of Dr. Gabor Maté and critiqued as ignoring genetic evidence. In my opinion though, Dr. Maté holds a much more nuanced and integral/systemic perspective on the phenomenon and suggests a complex interplay of trauma, development and genetics, which I explore below.
An Ecological Synthesis
As with many other complex conditions and phenomena, reductionistic and oversimplifying approaches are falling short in fully capturing the complexity of ADHD as an ecological phenomenon. Categorizing it as a disorder has motivated a pathology-driven inquiry into the condition, overlooking its potential evolutionary significance as an ecological adaption of nature to create higher tribal neurological diversity and resilience.
In our polarizing society we often get caught up in disputes which in reality are an ongoing dialectical integration process. The hereditary vs. developmental discussion has often reminded me of the particle vs. wave dispute in physics in the early 20th century. Only the brightest minds of that time were willing and able to transcend the conflict and recognize these seemingly conflicting hypotheses as thesis and antitheses of a complex natural dialectic and had the courage to imagine an outrageous model of the world in which both can be true, the synthesis of the wave-particle-dualism as a larger whole that is still puzzling physicists today.
The controversy around a definition of ADHD, its symptoms and its origin suggests the it is not a simple monocausal disease that we can tackle with reductionistic and decontextualized thinking. If anything we need to look at ADHD as a complex ecological phenomenon involving the whole context of an individual: its genes, its environment, development, attachment injuries, ACE, trauma, cultural context, family dynamics and so on. Similarly to the particle-wave-dualism I believe that both the hereditary models and the developmental models are making important contributions to our understanding of what ADHD is, and we shouldn't be busy trying to prove one over the other, but investigate how both approaches can shed light onto the complexity of the phenomenon and integrate them into a more whole ecological perspective. One that we keep enriching and completing with new findings down the road, most likely without every fully capturing it.
Therefore I believe the most obvious notion is that ADHD has a strong hereditary aspect, which is shown it its genetic associations and adaptive capacities, as well as quite convincing developmental aspects which reveal itself through the lens modern trauma informed psychotherapeutic perspectives offer. My current (drastically simplified for ease of reading) hypothesis is that ADHD has a genetic predisposition, which originates in highly potent evolutionary adaptations that have the purpose to increase the genetic diversity of a tribe, with certain individuals specialized in expanding the boundaries and cultural narratives of the tribe, as hunters, warriors, explorers, inventors, poets, philosophers, shamans and mystics through extremely heightened sensitivity, focus, risk proclivity, curiosity and mental flexibility. On its own, this genetic markup (which is much more complex and diverse than a single nucleotide polymorphism, does not necessarily create a symptomatic expression of ADHD with all the suffering we associated with it. But the extremely heightened sensitivity delivers a perfect fertile ground for developmental trauma and ACE to have an exacerbated impact on the individual, by limiting its capacity for affect regulation and therefore limiting its access to the orbito-frontal-cortex which is the region of our neocortex that is responsible for executive functioning: the capacity to override emotional impulses and choose to focus on something specific that might not align with our impulsive curiosity or avoidance.
This integrative model delivers a potent angle to influence how we experience ADHD and how we can learn to regulate ourselves so that we can use its genetic advantages without getting lost in the symptomatic impacts on our daily lives. It is what this training is based on, and how we can shed light onto the confusing and contradictory statements we've been hearing about ADHD for decades to meet the ecological complexity this phenomenon is a part of.
Why The Paradigm of Normativity Must End
Nature bolsters ecosystems against environmental challenges through increased biodiversity. A biodiverse ecosystem is healthier, more resilient, and better equipped to adapt to complexity and change. While we understand this principle in the context of natural and agricultural ecosystems, it's equally true for human societies.
Despite some progress in embracing some aspects of diversity, our culture remains enamored with normativity — a human equivalent to agricultural monoculture. A believe that there is an ideal "standard" type of person, while perceiving deviations from it as dysfunctional that need to be fixed.
This perspective diametrically contradicts the evolutionary intelligence of this living planet, which thrives on diversity and differentiation. In fact, a monoculture of normativity is the most unstable and fragile condition for any system.
As humanity grapples with pressing environmental challenges and rising complexity, ADHD — or more accurately the underlying genetic and neurological polymorphisms — could be a profound adaptive response from an intelligent planetary ecology. We just haven't recognized it for what it is yet: an intelligent, ecological counteraction to human monoculture with immense purpose and meaning, one of natures countless intelligent ways to create a healthy biodiverse ecosystem that is capable of responding to the challenges of our time.
Our society frequently mislabels ADHD as a disorder, leading to numerous misconceptions and bad advice. This ignorance masks the true potential and contributions of individuals with ADHD. Misunderstanding the condition results in pain and confusion, but the issue is not ADHD itself; it's how society relates to it. The problems emerge from the demand to function exactly the way normativity expects it. This is like trying to deliver heavy cargo with a race car, or trying to win the formula-1 with an excavator.
Of course you can make it work, but you will always look at the race car as not working properly, underperforming, being too sensitive, constantly having issues, and being dysfunctional. But changing it's tires won't do the trick.
This is how ADHD neurotypes are feeling in todays world. Not performing, not contributing, not useful, not meaningful, not having value. Trying to fix themselves with medication.
"Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
(Misattributed to Albert Einstein, true source unknown)
People with ADHD possess extraordinary capacities: They can be very creative, intuitive, comfortable with complexity, quick thinking, often hold unique perspectives, are empathetic, spontaneous, enthusiastic, curious, have a lot of energy, are resilient, and highly adaptive to new situations. All things we desperately need to turn around the ship. But to tap into these powers, we need to understand ADHD as a neuro-emergent condition that requires a distinct approach.
There is a reason a race car and a heavy duty truck need completely different trainings and skills to be driven properly. But in our culture all neurotypes are receiving the same one-size-fits all education and are expected to iron out the kinks on their own. That’s not going to work. We must create environments where neurodiversity can flourish, serving its natural purpose: offering unique perspectives outside the mainstream mythos, driving social, technological, philosophical and cultural innovation, and reinvigorating our fragile monocultures.
This is why I spent months weaving my personal experiences and transformational work into a curriculum for individuals with ADHD, their communities, and anyone open to shifting their perspectives. So we all can recognize and celebrate the tremendous gift these individuals bring to be for the collective, and enable them to lead themselves into a live of creativity, focus, connection, and purpose.
