in times of strife. Modern humans have existed for roughly 300,000 years. Factory work is a couple of centuries old, and the school desk and the eight hour office day are younger still. Many traits we now label as disorders, like constant environmental scanning, rapid pattern recognition, sensory acuity, and deep focus, may belong to an older and wider human cognition range, which our narrower environment is maladapted to.

So the problem isn't the neurodivergent brain. It's colonial/colonized cultures.
