CPU binning assumes just one axis: from 100% working (perfect) then
various degree of broken to 0% (completely broken) which leads to the
wrong attitude of thinking in terms of "disorder" (from perfect
human to completely broken).
My examples tried (unsuccessfully) to show that there can be more
than one axis: whether a tool is considered working/broken can depend
on specific task you are trying to apply it to. Use the right tool for
the job. It is not that the tool by itself is broken, it is the
combination tool+job can be inadequate (but it doesn't mean that the
tool by itself has a disorder):
| tool | job | good fit |
|-------------+--------------+----------|
| hammer | pound nails | yes |
| hammer | drive screws | no |
| screwdriver | pound nails | no |
| screwdriver | drive screws | yes |
There can be broken hammers, screwdrivers too that are not suitable
for any job. There can be situations where you see only nails around
you and you'll be having a hard time if you are a
screwdriver. Screwdriver
by itself is not broken.
Obviously, human minds/tasks people do have many many aspects to
them and therefore different types of humans can find a good fit to
their abilities despite the differences. The symptoms of ADHD can
often be considered adaptive to their specific environment (and of
course, they can be crippling too):
"How a gene associated with ADHD may have been adaptive: an example
About one-seventh of a Kenyan tribe, the Ariaal, have the long version
of the DRD4 gene, which is associated with
novelty-seeking. Pastoralists, some Ariaal still lead a nomadic life,
moving from place to place, whereas others now have a more settled way
of living. A study found that men with the novelty-seeking allele who
lived a nomadic life were well nourished and healthy. In contrast,
those with this same allele living a settled life were on average less
well nourished (Reference Eisenberg, Campbell and GrayEisenberg
2008). It seems that having the ‘ADHD-inducing’ variant might well be
a better option when living a less settled kind of life, and that
different genetic variations aid survival or success in some
environments but not others." https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/bjpsych-advances/art...
