But they had lots of alcoholics. Entirely coincidentally, of course.

Alcoholics, Maniacs, Idiots, Shell Shocked, the Insane…

There was this baseline assumption of normality, and then there was this hyper-dramatized lunatic or raving drunk, and you weren’t supposed to really notice anyone in between. The idea of a high performing addict or adaptive neurodivergent was nearly non-existent. Two people with ADHD could be staring sideways at a third in disgust, simply because the third wasn’t well-socialized or required some amount of assistance to get around.
