Right/Left Hemisphere Hemisphere

I need to look into the left brain/right brain dichotomy thing, with left brained people focusing more on logic and bein' all right handed, and right-brained people focusing all on creativities and bein' all left-handed, because last time I checked, that was complete bunkum, but there are still parts about the theory that make sense, and I need to do a deep dive into it? Also, it being NaNoWriMo, haha, I need to do a deeper dive into a lot of stuff, a lot of the snags in last year's NaNoWriMo being research-based, and plus I want to get more creative with that overall anyway (jokes! with the second draft, I need to somehow add, jokes!, make it funny more consistently.)

But anyway I bring the left brain/right brain thing up because today I discovered a book from 20 years ago, 1998 (also from 20 years ago: And Now This, this one-off puppet show that aired on Nick and was intended to spin-off into its own series but which was quickly and quietly forgotten once it turned out to be nightmare-inducing levels of horrifying, forgotten that is until a brave group of adults who had been scarred by the pilot as children banded together online and scoured the internet dredging up as much information on it as possible. It's real!)

The book is called, like, Right-Brained Children in a Left-Brained World, specifically about ADD/ADHD kids, and this is from two decades ago remember so the science is probably totally outdated and not just the right brain/left brain thing, but like how they (ADD kids) do poorly in school because teachers think too inflexibly, in words, when ADD kids think in pictures, and hyper act and get distracted because they tend to get overwhelmed by stimulus, and underperform even though they can actually be quite bright the tests just don't work for their way of thinking, and, if I sound like I'm describing autists instead of ADD, ers, that's precisely it, and why I found the idea of the book so fascinating.

The author of the book presented neurotypical and neuroatypical thinking along a spectrum from right brain to left brain: teachers tended to be more left-brained, with extreme left-brainediness represented by schizophrenia and stuff; ADD/ADHD is more on the right hemisphere of the brain, with autism representing the extreme right of the hemisphere, just past ADD. I'd never heard or seen this model before, so it could be just some weird niche thing, but Temple Grandin herself gave a nice blurb on the back of the book, so...

Yeah, going to have to look into it more. If this is true, it explains so much. If it's not, it's going to require a lot of explanation.

Also, the word "phat" has been around a lot longer than I'd thought it had.
