Just a couple days ago, my wife and I were having this same exact conversation. In fact, I wonder if big tech company — as dystopian as this sounds — tries to attract individuals that exhibit strong ADHD traits.

Side note: I'm 34 years old and just 3 days ago, was evaluated by a psychiatrist and was diagnosed with adult ADHD.

Side, side note: Congrats on taking the step and getting the diagnosis. From personal experience, it takes a few weeks but it really does feel like a light switch gets turned on after starting treatment.
Perhaps it's high functioning because or with ADHD and/or easier to control people who feel more vulnerable.
