This tracks with my own theory on ADHD. It often times feels like a super power when it isn't ruining your life. If you manage it, it's remarkable. Left to its own devices, it's debilitating. When I was younger I tried to medicate the issue away, and then eventually came to the realization that I was doing more harm than good. So I learned to appreciate myself as just "different" as opposed to "dysfunctional".
Perhaps there's some evolutionary advantage to these 'mental disorders' that'll make sense when they're more fully formed in another few hundred years.

- ekanes 3y agoSeems like if you go back in time, someone who is impulsive + easily bored etc would be an evolutionary advantage to their tribe (what's over that hill? let's go see!) if not themselves.
