AB - In recent years, there has been a renewed and growing interest in ADHD. It has been claimed by some researchers that ADHD is not caused by neurological deficiency. The most interesting and persuasive argument is that ADHD is natural and valuable characteristics of human beings('Edison-Gene'), rather than the product of deficient gene. In this paper, I will firstly review and discuss these new claims, which provide an opportunity to rethink our perception of ADHD and Eugenics. In so doing, I propose that we need to go beyond biological essentialism in the understanding of ADHD. By employing a social constructivist approach, this study also revisits a range of issues surrounding therapeutic intervention and education for ADHD.
