This is super interesting. I can only speak anecdotally but my older brother has ADD and he has already spent 4-5 weeks writing a powershell script to automate a trivial task at work.
But whenever I visit he makes huge breakthroughs and I notice that he really wants me to come visit, and he asks me more and more questions on IM and shares his thoughts and progress.
He has a hard time coming out and saying what he feels but I'm observing that he works better with me present.
What's funny though is that I'm the absolute opposite. When someone is present and only slightly focused on what I'm doing, I act as if I have ADD.
