That the reticular activating system (RAS), which is the “on-ramp” for 4 of the 5 senses (not smell, that’s routed through the emotional center of the brain), has the ability to modulate the amount of sensory input the brain intakes at once. In people with ADHD, the RAS has no modulation ability. Their sensory input flow is always 💯 wide open. It’s like drinking from a fire hose.
This “low latent inhibition”, when paired with high IQ, manifests as creative genius.
