The Gift of a Restless Mind
A Chapter About Growing Up with ADHD
By Gilbert Quinones
The Kid Who Wasn’t Listening
When I was five years old, I had a question that adults couldn’t seem to answer.
“How come the people in the South Pole aren’t upside down?”
I wasn’t trying to be difficult. I genuinely wanted to understand.
Adult: “Okay, so there is gravity, etc.”
Me: But how come they don’t know they are upside down?
