"ADHD probably isn't a disorder if you live a very simple life and do manual labor all day"

Why?

Because physical activity and menial work that allows the mind some down time are effective ways to reduce ADHD symptoms.
A lot of exercise increases focus and reduces fidgetiness. Also, if there's fewer things to keep track of and less everyday choices to make, it's easier.

I have ADHD bad but it virtually goes away while backpacking for reasons I described.
