“Super power” is obviously an oversimplification, but there are plenty of people with ADHD, like myself, who wouldn’t change it if we could. My justice sensitivity is part of my ADHD, and it’s central to who I am.
It gets exhausting to hear people talk about how it’s some sort of hunter gatherer super power… Bro do you know how boring sitting in nature is without a phone? You ever built a house from mud and sticks? Shit takes days of organized planning and you thinkg ADHD will help with that?
I would have died because of ADHD in hunter gatherer times. I would have just forgotten to bring my f-ing spear to a hunt or something. I’d have definitely never managed to survive any winter if that includes having to prepare for it.
A lot of people confuse ADHD which “I am a quirky creative person”.
