#2ADHD is a neurological impairment, less developed hardware. Less severe ADHD can be self managed and possibly even become a strength through learned self-discipline.
People tend to think of ADHD as a focus issue. It’s more of a memory issue with corresponding compensation behaviors. Extreme ADHD is like watching the movie Memento, except the focal span is condensed from 5 minutes down to about 12-25 seconds and only about a third of the memories are lost. Imagine pouring a glass of milk and half way through you have forgotten you are in the middle of task until there is a mess. The most obvious indicator is misplacing things several times a day. Other indicators include strange repeated behaviors to compensate for memory loss like hiding things in weird locations so you can find them later only to have forgotten that you have hidden things and then run out of those things and not know where they are.

#3FSIQ was a bad way of identifying the cohort. They should break it up into GAI, WMI, and PSI instead since the key indications of cognitive capacity are in GAI and the WMI and PSI just show the area of deficit. I.E. a 104 FSIQ may be the same as a 110 FSIQ for neurotypical since the WMI and PSI are probably 1/2 to 1 standard deviation below the mean for the ADHD cohort. I know several gifted students with an FSIQ of around 110, so that also introduces the issue of gifted behaviors which can also present as inattentiveness. FSIQ 110, GAI >> 130, WMI and PSI below 85. This assumes they used something like WISC IV. Also, ignoring PSI and focussing on WMI kind of misses half the issue. It all comes down to executive function loading.

I have just learned from observation, speaking with counselors, and watching videos online. I have a family member with severe ADHD.
You might want to visit with a doctor to be evaluated for ADHD. There are medications that help, but they differ by person and medication with side effects.

Can also be malfunctioning hardware.
Can even be externally induced.
Transient bouts of attention deficit with perfectly normal MRI would indicate that something else is happening.
