Is ADHD a plot against personhood?

PsycPORT Article:

"Symptoms of attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder:
Primarily inattentive type
Fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes. Has difficulty sustaining attention. Does not appear to listen."

Dylan wrote about Desolation Row before ADHD was enshrined in the lexicon of disorders and validated by whatever studies are needed to validate such things. Since most of these apply to me, and I was a pisspoor student who later was Phi Bete after learning to write and to avoid classes, I must assume that my place is with those denoted problematic. And that from this pool of sad individuals a creative minority will emerge to save the world. How many nerds were ADHD before there ever was an ADHD. How much of this is school factory manufactured? The people I think are really weird today all talk very fast and walk vary fast and could care less about any obstacle in their way.
