Considering how often people (especially women) are under/misdiagnosed I'd rather not speculate on historical figures... can't we just celebrate contemporaries? ADHD is debilitating but some of us manage to do amazing things in spite of it.
Can’t we do both? Leo is the godfather of makers, and is widely known across the world. Contemporaries would be great as well, though.
I like to say I don’t have a pile of unfinished projects and half-abandoned hobbies. I’m just working in the style of the great Leonardo.
