I'm no Einstein but....

“Without changing our patterns of thought, we will not be able to solve the problems that we created with our current patterns of thought.”

Creativity. The ability to maintain focus for extended lengths of time (hyperfocus). Justice sensitivity. Curiosity. Divergent thinking. Multiple special interests. These are just some of the traits we that made Einstein one of the most influential figures of the 20th century.

Traits that are also synonymous with neurodivergence.

We'll never know for certain, but many historians and scholars believe Albert Einstein , one of the greatest minds of all time, was dyslexic and had ADHD.

Perhaps it's no coincidence that he was so fascinated by the mysteries of time! I haven't met a single ADHDer who isn't!

Some of Einstein's quotes give us a glimpse into his worldview. Whilst I'm a humble writer and editor, not a world-renowned theoretical physicist, I like to think that the traits, values and attitudes that made him unique are the same ones that my clients appreciate about me.
