It’s not a disease. It is the way some people are wired. Just like some people are really boring


That's my hunch as well. In another society, peoeple "with ADHD" would actually be deemed normal and well-adjusted, while drones who want to go to the same job for 40 years would be medicated. It just happens, that in civilized societies, specialization and consistency give huge payoffs, so we medicate people who can't naturally do that.


Well that doesn’t seem to describe a disorder (the word i meant to use)
