Sir Ken Robinson told the story of Gillian Lynne, an 8-year-old\r\ngirl that was said to have a learning disorder. she could not concentrate and\r\nnever sat still. when she was brought to the specialist who didn’t subscribe any\r\ntherapy but instead played music on the radio, the girl started dancing. he then\r\ntold her mother: “Gillian isn’t sick, she’s a dancer. take her to a dance school!”\r\nGillian Lynne later became a famous dancer and then responsible for some of\r\nthe most successful musicals in Broadway history. please share your thoughts in\r\nthe comments below. if you are hyperactive or if you are diagnosed with\r\nADHD please tell us about your coping mechanisms so we can learn more about it\r\nfrom reading your insights. if you want to support our Channel, enabling us\r\nto make more such videos, visit patreon.com\/sprouts and check out\r\nwhat we do.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QkiW1tPP02s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As found on YouTube<\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/flywait.4brain.hop.clickbank.net\/\">Brain Booster | Blue Heron Health News<\/a> \u21dd I was losing my memory, focus \u2013 and mind!
