Born To Explore
Teresa Gallagher
This site is devoted to "exploring positive and alternative views of attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD)." Offering a useful, refreshing, and valid alternative view to the classification that ADHD is dysfunctional, the author elaborates on her view through articles, references, and a host of online resources to explore. Well-designed and easy to navigate, the site constantly emphasizes that "ADD is a difference, not a defect." The site offers positive quotes, an in-depth analysis of how ADHD might be explained through a myriad of models, such as hunters, dreamers, and explorers, among others examined. Articles also cover coincidence of ADHD and creativity, and many other engaging essays.
