Whenever I run searches like "famous people with ADHD," the results are uniformly contemporary entertainers and sports stars. I find that kind of disheartening. Do you know of any lists that include famous thinkers, STEM fielders, and/or artists with ADHD? I don't want to sound like a snob, since there's nothing wrong with celebrities, but I want to be an academic, and my ADHD gets in the way of my studies a lot. I'd like to see examples of ADHD philosophers and writers and stuff. Know Any?
pt. 2: I know that Einstein was diagnosed posthumously, and that’s pretty cool, but I would like to see more than just that, especially given that no one can know what his modern-day psych eval would look like, because ADHD didn’t exist as a diagnosis until after his death.
It also includes fictional characters, and those are first, so scroll on down to famous people and you’ll see that the very first person on that list is a political analyst!
