ADHD isn't a documentation deficiency disorder.

As a programmer with ADHD, I'm actually the documenter more often than not: my memory is very volatile, and I don't want people to interrupt me, so I prevent it by giving them the information beforehand.

Seconded, but I'm giving me the info up front. Who knows what kinda brain day I'll be having next high sev event?
Hyperactive and inattentive types are very different. I'm not even sure why we group then in the ADHD umbrella.
