This work has been at times arduous, stimulating and demanding and admittedly I have wanted to give up, however I have felt privileged to be able to do this work. I feel an intellectual and ethical responsibility to educate and inspire positive change as particularly related to the global realities of social, economic and health inequalities, especially as concerned with ADHD. I know this work has the great potential to influence, inspire and effect positive changes in alleviating ADHD driven inequalities, positively changing the conceptualizations of ADHD and improving how society views this normal diversity. So I’ve tried to honor these beliefs by pouring everything I have into this book and I have high yet humble hope this work will have a positive impact in improving the unnerving and unequal state of ADHD, no matter how small the positive sway. But I did not do this work alone. During the course of this multi-year work I have become indebted and deeply thankful to have been joined and supported by a number of inspiring and much more intelligent people than me. While writing a book is an enormous undertaking, it only finally comes x Blake Harding together with the engagement, assistance and encouragement of a small lovely village of warm, generous and selfless individuals. To be sure all the seemingly less important deemphasized and long days dedicated to research, writing and editing were made feasible with the encouragement and support of many kind people. Thank you Ray Marks at Columbia for believing in the promise of this work from the beginning and providing substantial latitude in sponsoring this work. Your dedicated, humble and generous support is a rare and incredible gift. I want to thank the many other distinguished faculties in the Counseling, Clinical Psychology and Health and Behavior Studies departments at Columbia University in New York for making this work financially and pragmatically possible. The support from Columbia has been essential to the research, writing and final publishing of this book. This project would not have been feasible with out the continual stream of positive encouragement from the Columbia community and the seemingly endless cafes, libraries and temporary wherever in the moment workspaces. I’ve been privileged to work in many spaces whether nestled on the dreamy Columbia campus in Harlem, on visits to Tucson’s breathtaking Sonoran ecology and variously in pop up workspaces while researching or working in Europe, which have provided inspiration and kindly lent in the moment spaces for this project. I want to also thank the faculty and administration at Stanford University and the Amgen Foundation for providing early generous funding and the opportunity to spend time on the “Farm” in Palo Alto while pursuing behavioral medicine research efforts. The opportunity to research and study at Stanford served as a catalyst in pushing me down the intensive pathway towards researching inequalities while leaving many discernable fingerprints in between the lines of this work. This project has grown up, sprouted and planted many deep roots over many years in part from the numerous conversations, interactions and learning experiences at decidedly one of the most inspirational and diverse places I have ever been lucky enough to be affiliated with: University of Califonria in Berkeley. I am thankful to many at UC Berkeley for
