Instead of a mind that functions with clear direction and that favors order, could a mind that isn't distracted by mess and is continually branching out in multiple directions be a more favorable one for the future?

there's no such thing as ADHD
just hyperactive kids and parents that don't give a shit
the drugs they give them affect their brains for life
it's despicable, giving drugs to undeveloped children

This is the most positive thing I can post when people furrow their brows at nothing.

ADHD isn't all negatives--but being someone with ADHD in the wrong environment can be pretty awful. And your average path to a career and life can be pretty darn hard to deal with.

Most things seen as mental health issues now would have been beneficial in their own ways in other cultures and societies. If the issues even manifest in those circumstances.

Modern society and life is a struggle to deal with and the increasing emergence of mental health issues is testament to the difficulty of adaptation.

Yes. Varg made a video about this a few months ago and argued that it was a "Hunter vs Farmer" thing. The traits of ADHD benefit a Hunter-focused population.

This seems reasonable. A common misconseption is that a person with ADHD can't focus. This isn't true at all. Focusing on just one thing, that's the trick. Doing something like homework was physically uncomfortable.

I can attest to this.

That being said, I played 20 hours of Pat of Exile with 4 hours of sleep on Monday into Tuesday.
