ADHD From a Sociological Perspective
<p>I suggested in previous posts that ADHD is really only a “problem” within certain cultures or social structures. Those <em>suffering</em> from ADHD are those who are in a “sit still and do what you’re told” environment such as school and a corporate workplace. Those <em>thriving</em> with ADHD have managed to land in a role where they’re able to lean into the parts of ADHD that are powerful. Thom Hargmann’s book “<a href="https://amzn.to/3TbuorU" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">ADHD: A Hunter in a Farmer’s World</a>” takes the whole notion of ADHD and turns it on its ear.</p>
<p>I should start by thanking </p>

<p> for suggesting this book to me. I should also say that I’m waiting for my copy to arrive and read, so everything below is my thoughts or rudimentary research. What I want is to <em>explore this idea</em> before I explore the book. I want to see where my own thoughts lead… because I have some. To me, the things that make a hunter or gatherer successful are not what makes a farmer successful. I’m curious to explore what a modern version of these roles looks like.</p>
