Other people already commented that ADHD symptoms usually are experienced by neurotypical as well but that the degree differs.
To give an example: I tend to get really sucked in in some stuff that interests me, spending hours on end learning something new etc. Often to the point that I postpone to go to pee or eat etc. But if I have to learn something I'm not interested in, it often gives me mental discomfort. I feel tired and like I cannot pay attention to anything. Once that annoying thing is out of the way I feel fine again. Being able to stay up all night to learn about something else. This is really annoying with anything that has to do with paperwork. Like I said, I get mental and sometimes even physical discomfort trying to understand how I would have to apply for stuff or what papers I have to hand in somewhere.
