Leonardo da Vinci ‘diagnosed with ADHD’ 500 years after death – and experts think disorder HELPED him create ‘extraordinary art’By Sean Keach, Digital Technology and Science EditorLEGENDARY artist Leonardo da Vinci may have had ADHD, according to a shock paper published 500 years after his death.
The theory is based on historical accounts of da Vinci's work practices and behaviour, Catani, of King's College, explains in a new paper published in the journal BRAIN. "There is a prevailing misconception that ADHD is typical of misbehaving children with low intelligence, destined for a troubled life," Catani wrote.
There is also "indirect evidence" to suggest that Leonardo's brain was organised in a different way compared to the average person.
Brilliant. Just brilliant, bet he was glad to finally be diagnosed, just like I’m glad that’s news on my news feed.
And
Was it Bill Nye the hipp Scientist that diagnosed him ?
“Diagnosed”

Good thing was not AIDS!
