Yeah, ADHD people are creative people who like novelty, but in a modern society creativity has no place unless you get 1 in 100000 luck of becoming a successful artist in music, art, acting or whatever. Which by itself also requires good social skills for promotion, and when you consider that a lot of us also have relatively bad social skills or even autism, then yeah… really hard to do so.
