ADHD is nothing new -- ancient philosophers pondered the symptoms of hyperactivity and implusivity and thought a person's spirit had more fire, or passion, than water in their being.

Too often, though, we still have to remind people outside of the ADHD community that this is something people have always had and that their good news today that we can help them to be both passionate and successful.
