People in open plan offices would kill their mother for a cubicle
That shows the race to the bottom
Being neuroatypical usually isn't in itself very debilitating.
Being neuroatypical and trying to fit into systems narrowly tailored to fit the handful of traits and preferences that most rich and powerful people tend to share, though? That shit's BRUTAL 😮💨
Actually it's not just "not debilitating" but ADHD can be a major advantage for hunter gatherers and according to studies leads to more calories being gathered. It's also likely that in a major war people with ADHD would do better as things like "not focusing" on a single task turns into better situational awareness. You notice things other people wouldn't. The hyperfocus state is also very useful for combat. These things didn't just evolve by a fluke. There is a reason they exist and there is a reason only a certain percentage of the population has them. "Neurodivergent" behaviors are literally a way for the species to be more prepared for different situations. Not every single person is going to be good at the same things. We don't call it "neurodivergent" when one person sucks at math and is instead really good at art. Humans are not all carbon copies of eachother. Because if we were then the moment we encountered a novel situation we would go extinct. Also, yes, that even includes things like ASPD (Anti-Social Behaviors). In nature the name of the game is diversification. If you've got 100 humans and all of them react to a situation slightly differently its much more likely some of them survive to pass on genes.
It's not like neurotypicals cope with that much better.
