I'm wondering if the sense of justice comes from non-conforming or a lack of cognitive dissonance, explaining why ND people are highly prevalence among vegans. Also a lack of respect for hierarchy & optimism of being able to "make a difference". Rage against systems is a strong motivator. Activism & protesting is also quite exciting & involves some risk. Highlighting other strengths of ADHD. My personal hunch it also comes from not being able to NOT think about that thing that has caused upset. So if you've been in a minority group, unfairly treated or misunderstood, your motivation to help and empathy of others is amplified.
A positive for me about people with ADHD is, they seem to be charming. I may be biased but there's something engaging, enthusiastic, kind..etc etc etc
