Yeah. The idea is that, since our offspring take SO long to mature and take so many resources relative to other animals, that it makes more sense at some point for mothers to devote their resources to existing children rather than focus on trying to have more.

What about ADHD people?
kieron115@startrek.website 8 hours ago
ADHD brains seem to approach problems in generally more innovative/non-traditional ways than neurotypicals. It can also foster intense motivation in people. Bill Gates, for example, has been open about his struggles with ADHD. Many scholars believe that Albert Einstein struggled with AuDHD (ADHD with autism, which wasn’t in the American DSM until fairly recently).
