Hartmann, Thomas – Reaching Today's Youth: The Community Circle of Caring Journal, 1998
Examines how Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) characteristics might have functioned within the lives of our prehistoric ancestors. These traits--distractibility, impulsivity, and restlessness--would have worked well for hunters, but not for farmers. Also explains the role of creativity in those diagnosed with AD/HD. (MKA)
