“…Indeed, although for the most part, disruptive behaviors we would now acknowledge as symptoms of ADHD, historically could be attributed to youthful exuberance or a simple lack of discipline [22] , Mozart [23,24] , or Lord Byron [25] could have had ADHD. It has been even hypothesized, from descriptions of his disruptive behavior as recorded in the Scriptures that the Apostle Peter might have suffered from ADHD [26] . Likewise, Merzon et al [27] [28] .…”

Core tip: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder in children and in adults. Although the conceptualization and diagnosis of this disorder is often controversial it is not a modern invention. There are significant published historical medical, and non-scientific reports of individuals with symptoms of inattention, distractibility and over-activity, prior to the 20 th century, since the last quarter of the 18 th century. The present paper explores the early history of ADHD in the medical literature and in other historical sources, to gain better understanding of the roots and evolution of the conceptualization of this disorder.Martinez-Badía J, Martinez-Raga J.

To belong in the Christian tradition, we must be able to contribute to it. Yet neurodivergent Christians have rarely been enabled to tell our own stories about ourselves as a vital part of God's (neuro)diverse creation. In common with other autism research, academic theology is framed by pathologizing clinical paradigms of autism; neurodivergent people's situated knowledge about ourselves has not always been valued in the field. In this aut-ethnography, I use reflections from a decade of engaging with autism theology -often a painful experience of Othering -to frame a response informed by critical autism and neurodiversity studies. Drawing on lived theology from autistic research participants, I consider what our neurodiversity theologies have to offer to academic theology. Finally, I ask how theologians can do justly by speaking with, not for, neurodivergent people.
