I researched ADHD and was a teacher to boot. You wouldn't think it's about human productivity when you have ADHD children standing on their chairs, shouting, wandering the classroom during examinations. It's a serious neurological disability and it's not just down to societal pressures for productivity.

Some sad facts: Those with ADHD are much more likely to be friendless, to have fights with parents, to abuse alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, and cocaine, and to develop mental health problems like depression, anxiety, and conduct disorder. The brain of those with ADHD is not "normally" developed and that leads to a lot of issues.
