What happened to ADD? Apparently now it's a sign of intelligence

in #health7 years ago

Remember when kids in school would get punished for spacing out? Well now apparently spacing out is a sign that the brain is extraordinarily efficient. A new study by the Georgia Institute of Technology indicates that daydreaming is a sign of an efficient brain.

The quote which highlights the result:

Those who reported more frequent daydreaming scored higher on intellectual and creative ability and had more efficient brain systems measured in the MRI machine.

I knew it!!! What a bunch of F'ing Assholes!!! :D

Creativity has always been a sign of intelligence — even Albert Einstein spoke about that.

But there is little here that links ADD to creativity.

Focus AND creativity will take a person far in life.

My view is that people with ADD have a biological difference that environmental toxins and food choices have exacerbated.
Go on an auto-immune diet, eliminate common allergens, check for mold and heavy metals, reduce emf’s, get sunlight and nature, and ...

the ADD will probably go away, and the dreams can be realized!!

U are a smart lady!! Voting u up!! :)

Thank you!

Day dream is my usual habit , 😉😉

As a daydreamer I feel better now. Thanks for sharing!

That's really interesting study. Now I know why my brain is so dull, no creativity! I was first boy in my class, sat on the first bench and never had daydream :D

I have wondered for years how the next generation will solve the worlds problems that we have left them.

Without the Eisenstein's to come up with solutions.
I mean we drug & dope any kid that is outside our definition of "normal" in order for them to fit within societies range of acceptable.
Where will genius's come from?

So much change in our medicine and science never thought they would say this
