Imagine a world where 93% of people have the Hunter or Edison Gene, no one would have flashy things on webpages, ads or otherwise. That would also mean more than 10 times as many people with amazing creativity and insight and many fewer people who are willing to do the same thing over and over and over and over like 93% of the people in this world. We likely would have found ways to eliminate drudgery for most tasks. Perhaps we would live in a happier world where people were more fulfilled.
@krono, living with the Hunter Gene in a world built for people with the Farmer Gene does not mean you have a problem, dysfunction, affliction, malady, sickness, infirmity, disability, defect, or disorder but does mean you must adapt to a world built for others.
Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Celebrate and build on your strengths, mitigate your weaknesses as we all should.

Although ADHD is often described by the problems it presents, several recent studies (see here, here, and here) have reaffirmed other potential advantages linked to the ADHD diagnosis, namely — the ability to think more creatively, and entrepreneurial orientation (EO).
ADHD has been linked to three aspects of creative cognition, namely: divergent thinking, conceptual expansion, and overcoming existing knowledge constraints.
