History has and will probably look favourably on those in this list. Indeed
society owes a great deal to many on this list, leaving us to wander what
society would have been like without their personal contribution. This said,
we must remember that the vast majority of people who have had ADHD, ASD,
Dyslexia and other related conditions will never appear on this list. Like
them, most of those who do appear on this list were not popular, were not
considered extraordinary during their time, never had a penny to rub
together, and have not been scientific geniuses, but wandered if the world
would notice they had ever existed. Each name here represents hope,
ambition, gifts and above all confirmation that despite their personal
struggle through out life, those who have these conditions can and do make a
real and fundamental difference to those they come into contact with. They
have earned as much right as the rest of society to be accepted, and treated
with respect and dignity, and be provided with the high quality of education
experienced by their peers.
Disclaimer: The following list contains people who
have diagnosis or ADHD, ASD, Dyslexia or another related condition. ADHD
has been around discussed since the 1790's. Most of those still alive have specifically been
diagnosed with the condition, the remainder and those who died
prior to this date have been professionally diagnosed using the diagnosis rules
being applied to their biographies. Some of the above listed websites
provide links to websites which confirm their ADHD diagnosis or their
biographies which fulfil the diagnosis rules.
