That is interesting! I do have ADHD and I'm now in my low 40s. The enthusiasm never goes away. I met an old housemate, whom I had not seen in 20 years, and he said "You were eager, and unlike the other housemates you were much more open to things and not set in your ways."

I said mate, nothing has changed! It really is a pain when your peers don't want to try new things, but on the other hand, it's a good personality for leading a bunch of young guns with fire in their bellies!
