This was at another ADD site.

In 1993, Thom Hartmann proposed that the “condition” of ADHD is actually a gift, a 10,000 year old leftover of hunters in a farmer’s world. According to his explanation, the problem lies more with our current cultural expectations and with our schools (designed by and for “farmers” – those who plan ahead tend their fields carefully) than with the child whose brain, for whatever reason, is more like that of the hunter:

NOW you know why it was a 'real' sacrifice on my part!

scanning the environment (for prey)
the ability fall into a dream-like state for long periods (during down periods)
the ability to become suddenly hyperfocused and thrive on danger and excitement (the hunt)
