ADHD IS OFTEN PRESENTED AS SOMETHING TO DEAL WITH, BUT IT CAN OFTEN HAVE UNEXPECTED BENEFITS.
At the last census, 6.8 per cent of Australians were diagnosed with ADHD.
Believe it or not, people with ADHD are 300% more likely to start their own business and many business leaders have ADHD. People like Richard Branson (founder Virgin Airlines) and Ingvar Kamprad, Swedish founder IKEA (who says he adapted the inner workings of his business to compensate for his ADHD and dyslexia).
Jeremiah Hartman, 35 has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. He worked in unfulfilling jobs until he was diagnosed at 27 with ADHD. It was a defining time. He identified his ADHD strengths and harnessed them into a creative tool that helped him succeed.
The positives aspects of his ADHD (quick wit, high energy, enthusiasm and creativity) have been crucial to his business success as Sydney based professional MC (Master of Ceremonies) and runs events and charity fundraisers.
TV's most creative chef, Heston Blumenthal tells how "ADHD helps his imaginative juices flow."
Scientists believe ADHD helped society by providing risk-takers who identify dangers and map out boundaries.

Dr Keith Conners, founding father of ADHD diagnosis dies at 84

Dr Keith Connors, whose work with hyperactive children established the first standards for diagnosing and treating what is now known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) died on July 5 in Durham, North Carolina, aged 84.
He had collaborated with others in the early 1960s, when what we now call ADHD began to take clearer shape, and probably knew more about what the disorder is, and is not, than anyone who has ever lived.
The field of child psychiatry was still young when Dr Conners joined the faculty of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in the early 1960s as a clinical psychologist.
