Have We Been Thinking About A.D.H.D. All Wrong? - The New York Times

An interesting and very good read. I really like Sonuga-Barke’s proposed alternative model of ADHD as an environment-individual mismatch.

First, the new model more accurately reflects the latest scientific understanding of A.D.H.D. And second, it gives children a vision of their future in which things might actually improve — not because their brains are chemically refashioned in a way that makes them better able to fit into the world, but because they find a way to make the world fit better around their complicated and distinctive brains.
