In my case, it wasn’t a disorder, it was a concious decison. I had no desire to “move up” into the ranks of management where the money is better and so is the pain and boredom. I am quite content to do what I love as I have been doing for the last 40+ years.
I learned in the Army that the guys with the shiny brass bits in their shoulders and hats made better targets than those of us with stripes on our sleeves.
I have never been motivated by money, fame, praise, or power. I have danced to the tune of my own piper for 76 years, and ain’t about to change now!
I may not have a lot to show for my life, materially, but I sure have had a good time, and have been able to do things and go places that others only dreamed of.
Life has been – and continues to be – a fantastic adventure!
I’ve wondered if it’s a “youngest child” thing. It’s all been done & said, so keep your head down, do some of the dirty work no one wants, & try to be mildly amusing now & then so you don’t get put out with the trash.

He certainly could ADD some “activity” to his “schedule”.

They have ruined many good workers and their careers by chaining them to a desk to count beans and making them visible during a layoff cycle.
