ADHD is a problem created by society. The condition itself in the wild would have been advantageous as ADHD individuals are very creative and are able to hyperfocus, you don't fit in the system so you're seen as a victim of a disease.
John Watson
Imagine sitting down to work down on an assignment and then 5 hours go by without you doing anything because you keep walking around and thinking about random shit. It isn't as bad in a public environment but you still zone out and get distracted by your own thoughts quite a bit - it isn't easy to resist because it feels so good to just leave the real world behind. When I was at school and we had sport, it was very common for me to not pay attention to any of the instructions the teacher gave because I would zone out. When I was riding a bike once I nearly rammed into a truck once because I wasn't paying attention to how far away the turn was, nowadays I am too scared to drive a car if I'm not on meds.
You are also prone to make impulsive decisions.
>are very creative and are able to hyperfocus
There is no evidence that people with ADHD are more creative,and the ability to hyperfocus is indeed good but it's something that only comes into effect when tou're doing something you are entirely interested and invested in. If you are working some generic office job then this will not happen and you will be fucked.

That's why I'm talking about the wild - like how humans were actually meant to live.
ADHD individuals would have excelled in shit like hunting, they would literally be able to hyperfocus on shit like that.

Ok what if this describes me and I am not diagnosed. Is it possible to not be diagnosed as a child?
Adam Phillips
Yes, I didn't get diagnosed until I was 17 after my school grades kept on dropping because of assignments. Even then I was the one who decided to see a psychologist about my problem
If they were generally invested and enjoyed hunting then yeah, they could benefit from the hyperfocus. The problem is that if they aren't hyperfocusing then they're fucked

Look at this list of positives, in a hunter-gatherer society these people would have been charismatic as fuck and some of the best hunters. There's a reason why the genes for ADHD have constantly been passed on, if it weren't even the slightest bit advantageous to our hunter-gatherer ancestors we wouldn't be seeing so many ADHD people.
