A world where people with ADHD thrive would be perfectly fine for non-ADHD people too. The examples of figuring out new things would get passed to non-ADHD people and is passed down and refined. That is actually how societies have worked until industrialization where difficulty following a regimented schedule and so many things to keep track of made ADHD a disorder.
What would that world look like?
Imo the current world works pretty well as long as I can get medication which I do.
Ever been camping on a hike? You need to do some basic things that naturally come hp as you go. You don’t need a ton of things, so it isn’t too hard to keep track of stuff on a set schedule. Natural changes in light and weather prompt for action, and you get to look around and explore.
Monthly bills, complicated requirements for insurance, forcing my sleep schedule to fit the rest of the world, trying not to fidget when sitting for hours on end at a desk, keeping track of eveeyone’s names. Those are the things that make life difficult for me. I’m focring myself through it, but it sucks and I only need medication because I am on someone else’s schedule.
If I ever retired I would not need medication. I did fine at simple jobs that didn’t pay enough before getting diagnosed. Hell, sometimes I take leave when my wife and kid are traveling and don’t bother taking meds. Everything important gets done and I actually accomplish quite a bit of optional stuff as long as I can do it on my schedule.
Gifted?
