I feel like I have a deep reliance on society and technology, because I can’t fucking see without glasses and I’m too scared to do Lasik lol (also expensive).

    I dunno, reading through common ADHD traits sometimes sounds like a description of the perfect post-apoc survivor lol

      Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s an adaptive trait, just one that isn’t useful anymore. It wouldn’t be good for everyone to have ever, but it probably was useful for some people to have. Just like most people are more awake during the day, you’d want some people awake at night to keep everyone safe, so we have “night owls” who are maladjusted to the typical work hours we have today.

      I always imagined that ADHD was just our minds tuned to being hunter-gatherer survivors, and thus not suited for a sedentary office environment.
