Mild ADHD is actually beneficial because it allows someone to easily
multitask, when it becomes severe like in my case it's debilitating.
Imagine someone has a tv remote control hooked up to your brain, and
they're constantly changing channels.
Multitaksing redily lends itself to programming
Current research suggests that ADHD like many other mental illnesses is
caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, in this case between
norepinephrine and dopamine, which are neurotransmitters.

Wonder why (if it's true)?
Code jockeying cause ADHD, or ADHD make someone more prone to become a
programmer?
Or is it just a big coincidence?
