Does the current school system get in the way of children's creativity?
Society and the AD(H)D epidemic
In the inspiring video below, internationally renowned education expert, Ken Robinson, talks about the current school system, society and the accompanying diagnoses like ADD and ADHD.
According to Robinson, school gets in the way of children's creativity immensely which mainly affects children with ADD and ADHD.
In any case, both of us have quite different views on diagnoses like ADD and ADHD as we know them today. On my take on ADD / ADHD in today's society and school system I wrote earlier here.

Dear ADDs, ADHDs and HSPs,
I am Jochem and have been diagnosed with ADD and am a high-sensitive (HSP). Over the past few years, I have done an enormous amount in the field of self-awareness exercises and self-healing. Partly because in 2011 I suddenly found myself dealing with CFS/ME, or chronic fatigue syndrome, overnight. This was really a big turning point in my life which meant I really had to start working on myself from now on.
To recover, I did have to learn a lot about myself. So I pretty much went to every therapist, coach but also alternative healer you can think of.
During my search for the right help, I gained a lot of valuable knowledge that gave me very good insights and caused me to heal more and more. Now I actually see my ADD more as a strength and can live with it much better.
A book that really opened my eyes is "The Davinci Method" by John Loporto. He approaches all our traits in such a beautiful way. This is really a eye-opener voor alle mensen met de diagnose ADD of ADHD. Dit boek was voor mij één van de grootste inspiratiebronnen om eind 2011 te beginnen met deze website. You can find more about John Loporto's inspiring book here. You can also see his inspiring video there in which he shares his message as an introduction to his book.
I hope this website will inspire you to look at the beautiful and powerful sides of ADD and ADHD, but of course also high sensitivity. Through all the information and tips and advice I give you the tools to be stronger with ADD, ADHD and HSP.
Wanneer jij die spirit in jezelf voelt en zelfverzekerd bent kun je een persoon zijn die voor de 'normale' mens erg inspirerend kan zijn. Een persoon met een nauwe verbintenis met het leven, een rijkelijk gevoelsleven, vol creativiteit, een ruim denkende geest, een sociaal wezen, betrouwbaar, humoristisch en met een zeer goede intuïtie. De rollen van je anders voelen zullen zich dan omdraaien. Maar loop je steeds vast en denk je vaak negatief over jezelf dan wordt je steeds negatiever beladen en vermoeider en blijven de bovenstaande mooie eigenschappen veelal op de achtergrond.
On my website, I share with you all the knowledge I have. The knowledge that can give you as an ADD, ADHD and HSP person a positive spin on your life. In doing so, I share all the information I have learned from coaches and therapists and from books, documentaries and interviews.
You can read more about me on the about me page.
Happy reading ADDcharacteristics.net
Greetings, Jochem.
