    Hi, interesting read. I'm not sure how I feel about this sentiment: "If this sounds familiar, then there’s probably nothing wrong with you!" I don't think ADHD is something wrong with me. It's just another way of being human that once had certain advantages for the individual and the social group they lived in. In hunter/gatherer groups, for example, being easily distracted by a rustle in the bushes could be a really good thing-- it could help you either find food or prevent you from becoming food. In modern society though, in an education system founded to teach people just enough to become good factory workers, such heightened sensitivity is not regarded as a quality-- hence the D for Disorder.
