ADHD isn't necessarily a pathology. I.e. arguably there is nothing "wrong" with most people with that diagnoses, it is simply an adaptation where there was an evolutionarily stable balance of temperaments where some nontrivial ratio of people are more like seekers and wanderers and not satisfied with buckling down and doing the same stuff repeatedly. ADHD is also at least in some people, a developmental problem sort of like a muscle imbalance where people learn to do an action with a set of muscles and neglect whole muscle groups and end up kind of able to do everything but with drawbacks because they weren't trained properly. After a concussion and extensive testing, I discovered the latter about myself. There are a lot of things I'm quite good at with neurological tests and one working memory test that I'm just terrible at. So much started making sense when I discovered this about my whole life. And maybe my brain is just weird but what I actually think is it's something that just never got trained because I got good at other things early which compensated. Now the struggle is finding professionals interested in helping instead of telling me everything will be better with an SSRI and talk about my feelings. I'm sure that I'm still a certain kind of person, but a lot of my "symptoms" could actually be trained away if properly measured and exercised.
