> ADHD (at least in my case) makes context switching, and switching back, easy (it's a core symptom, this is the reason we have difficulty focusing). It's rare to hear one of us say "now where was I?"

This surprises me because my own experience is one where I lack

1) the biological equivalent of an Instruction Pointer.

2) the working memory to hold both my previous task's information and my current task's information in my head.

So, if I have to switch tasks a bunch, I don't properly load the info for my current task into working memory.
