TBF evolution doesn't give a hoot about side effects. It is not an intelligence. Moreover, human communities provide massive shielding for diverse traits by being near top of the food chain (when we're in armed groups).

Individuals with traits that would be suboptimal if they were out there on their own can sometimes provide a great deal of value to the group under the right circumstances. Even if little Jane ADHD taxes resources more than other group members on the average year, perhaps her unique behavioral traits open the possibility of saving the entire group from starvation during an atypical hunting/foraging year.
