Klüver-Bucy is definitely a thing in humans, too. It's a result of brain damage, so let's hope that ain't it.

Yeah that's what lead me there. I was reading about the limbic system and thinking man limbic system issues sound a lot like ADHD symptoms. The way I think about it is degrees of decreased function. Like with ADHD the system largely functions, just slightly less than in neurotypical people, and with this it's closer to completely nonfunctional. It's just interesting to see the parallels.
