This. I've determined that the societal benefit of ADHD is best demonstrated in the hunter role during humans' hunter-gatherer era.

Long runs or hikes to get to the locale / day (or days) long stints of observant concentration resulting in longer than 24H wake/sleep cycles / intense sprints to chase down prey —— all well-suited for the ADHD constitution.

I've thought about it from every angle and it sure adds up to me.
