We’re continuing our discussion of the history of attention deficit disorder. In the last episode, we talked about how we have good evidence that ADHD is a normal neurodivergence. The presentation or traits of ADHD are due to genetic variation, and has been present in the human population for thousands of years.

Today, we’re going to spend more time on the history of attention deficit disorder in the early modern era, working from the 1850s through the 1980s.- Hit the subscribe button to make sure you are notified when there’s a new episode: https://mailchi.mp/66e2de2c4b59/signuphere
