I think the actual benefit of ADHD and programming is perseveration. Meaning we struggle to pull away from a task when it's time. Like putting down the video game and going to school.

What happens with programming is getting stuck on fixing a bug. Not being able to put the controller down until you figure out where the missing comma is and why your code won't work.

It's extremely valuable and a lot of people struggle with a bug and give up really easily.

Getting started working on something, or planning out a project on the other hand is the real tough part.

On the flip side I've always heard telling other people makes you feel accountable...

But that's never worked for me, so not telling people might make more sense.
