The Science of ADHD Creativity: Why Your Ideas Work Differently


Listen Later

Are ADHD brains more creative, or is that just a myth?

In this Research Recap with William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD, Skye breaks down a foundational study on ADHD and creativity, exploring how ADHD brains innovate, imagine, and sometimes overreach.

What we cover:

  • How ADHD brains approach creative problem-solving differently
  • What “conceptual expansion” means for ADHD thinking
  • Why originality and practicality don’t always go hand in hand
  • What this research says about collaboration and follow-through
  • How ADHD creativity can be a strength when supported by systems
