> Weirdly, he was there due to some sponsorship related to disabilities because he had ADHD.
Can I ask why you find that weird? ADHD is, and is also comorbid with other learning disabilities.
ADHD has so many dimensions and interrelationships between those dimensions that everybody's lived experience is different. If you know one person with ADHD, then you know one person with ADHD, you don't know everyone with ADHD.
Heck my best friend growing up had severe ADHD, what used to be called "ring-of-fire". Both his parents are clinical experts in ADHD, and have been since he was young. Yet despite knowing me incredibly well over a couple of decades none of them suspected that I had it. To be fair, three psychiatrists and dozens of psychologists missed it too, until one had a hunch that finally led to me getting diagnosed in my late 30s.
