臨床ではfMRIやPETは役に立たないとされるが、少なくとも何らかの特定の機能箇所において過剰活動があるとの発見報告はある

問題は過剰活動を抑制すべきなのか、否かということだ
薬剤で抑制することが行われた場合、その副作用で特定の専門技術を持つ才能が失われる可能性がある

Towards systems neuroscience of ADHD: A meta-analysis of 55 fMRI studies
Fifty-five studies were included (39 in children, 16 in adults). In children, hypoactivation in ADHD vs. comparisons
was found mostly in systems involved in executive functions (frontoparietal network) and attention (ventral attentional network).
Significant hyperactivation in ADHD vs. comparisons was observed predominantly within the default, ventral attention, and
somatomotor networks. In adults, ADHD-related hypoactivation was predominant in the frontoparietal system, while
ADHD-related hyperactivation was present in the visual, dorsal attention, and default networks. Significant ADHD-related
dysfunction largely reflected task features and was detected even in the absence of comorbid mental disorders or history of
stimulant treatment.

現代の技術競争は、ソフトウェアの開発の比重が多くをしめるが、一流のソフトウェア開発は線形的に作業が終わらず長期的なスパンで開発をする必要がある
優秀なプログラマーの資質には非線形的な思考力が必要であるが、関心が移りやすく幅広い好奇心と集中力があるADHDは、目の前の
問題から視点をランダムに変化させ、あらゆる構造・断面を理解しようとするため、同じ学習をしても、線形思考をする連中よりも多くの集中力と付加的経験が得られる

ADHD
People with ADHD may find organization (such as with paperwork) difficult, but they may hyperfocus on other interesting things such as art.[2][3][4]
In ADHD, formulation and thinking is often slower than other people, and may be "long winded or tangential".[4][11] These inattentive symptoms occur
dually with what has been termed "hyperfocus" by the 2019 European Consensus Statement on Adult ADHD. The over-concentration or hyperfocus often occurs
if the person finds something "very interesting and/or provide(s) instant gratification, such as computer games or online chatting. For such activities, concentration
may last for hours on end, in a very focused manner."[4]

ADHDは興味を持つものに対する強く非線形的な知的集中力を持つ傾向がある。ADHDに大してコーディングや芸術、その他の技術に興味を持たせれば（薬物治療で失わせるにはもったいない）重要な才能となりうる
