As a myth-loving ADHDer, let me just say this post was a joy to read ❤️ I really appreciate the idea of using a myth as a jumping off point for a larger topical conversation - using these stories to propel a current discussion forward rather than using projecting our ideas into the past. That's such a helpful framing!
It’s so interesting, we are deep into Percy Jackson and the discussion of diagnoses has helped my son understand his best friend better. “Yes, that’s like A, it’s hard for her to focus…”. The writing gets better over the series (and the chapters get shorter). There was one book where I was sobbing at the end.
Wonderful post, thank you!
