People often say that someone with ADHD "goes off on a tangent." In Spanish, we have a beautiful expression for it: "irse por las ramas" — literally, "to wander through the branches."

Along the way, it changes, evolves and discovers unexpected connections, yet it never completely loses the essence of where it began.
