@myfavouritejo: What if ADHD and autism aren't evolutionary stuff ups? What if our neurodivergent ancestors were actually the reason some of your ancestors survived? And I say what if, but let's face it, it's pretty much fact. 👉 The "easily distracted" ones are the ones who noticed the lion in the grass. 👉 The hyperfocusers who kept us on track for hours on end when stopping would have been a disadvantage. 👉 The night owls protected the tribe while everyone else slept. 👉 The adventurous ones that were always fidgeting and moving discovered arts, dances, music and so on 👉 And we definitely just had to touch the fluffy no matter how many times it tried to k!ll us! What if the traits we now label as ADHD symptoms, or neurodivergent quirks were once incredibly valuable survival skills that are responsible not only for human survival, but thriving! Maybe neurodivergence isn't a collection of things that need fixing, maybe it's a world to aspire to again. One where we move, we create, we commune, we work with our own body cycles rather than trying to force everyone into one box! Anywho, you're welcome for saving your ancestors from that lion and for your beloved pet! #huntergatherer #adhdhuntergatherer
