I also wouldn't have thousands of completely meaningless distractions. It's not like the choice was doom scroll Twitter or go hunt that woolly mammoth. You also get hungry long before your body falls apart due to starvation. I can't imagine anyone's ADHD making them lay around until their body was too emaciated to hunt. If the tribe is unsure of how to take out a woolly mammoth, that sounds like the sort of problem I'd (involuntarily) ideate on instead of twisting all that cordage. For me to accept this as a myth, I'd need something far more compelling.
