Da Vinci's brain functioned differently than average

This is the hypothesis of Professor Marco Catani of King's College in London, who through his research explains the reason for this diagnosis. Let us see why Leonardo da Vinci may have had a hyperactivity deficit attention disorder.

ADHD, or the hyperactivity disorder of the attention deficit, is a behavioral disorder characterized by constant procrastination, inability to perform tasks and anxieties of the body and the mind. If ADHAH was more well - known in childhood, it is now increasingly diagnosed among adults, including university students and successful career students.

Analysing the history of Leonardo da Vinci, explains Catani, the number of unfinished works is wonderful, historical documents show that Leonardo devoted too much time, even too much, to planning projects that were then lacking in the insistence on completion.

ADHD can explain these aspects of Leonardo's temperament and his strange genius. Always observing what historical documentation is related to one of the greatest geniuses of all time, Leonardo's look at his childhood duty respected.

He was constantly on the move, often dancing from one activity to another, like most people who suffer from ADHD. Flint worked very little, constantly at night and day, exchanging rapid cycles of short naps.

The figure of Leonardo da Vinci, his genius and creativity, suggests that his brain functioned in a different way than the average. He used his left hand, maybe it was dyslexic. Catani claims that perhaps the most characteristic and disturbing aspects of Leonardo's mind was his unsurpassed curiosity, which on the one hand made him creative and on the other was distracted.

We're used to thinking that people with ADHD are less intelligent people, but it's a very serious mistake. In fact, Catan explains, specialising in dealing with problems such as autism and ADHD, science tells us that ADHD can have positive effects, for example, <x0 mindset” can fuel creativity and authenticity.
