I have severe ADHD and do spaced repetition just fine, even when I'm not on my meds. The only reason I've paused my Japanese learning is sleep issues and stress from trying to find a tech job. What GP is describing sounds like the sort of resistance to tedium that can happen to anybody, not just to those with ADHD.

The issue with software like Anki is that it can feel like a complete chore or like a fun game depending on how you use it and the quality of premade cards available. Only using SRS, doing it for 1hr+ straight with no breaks, and DIYing all the cards is how a lot of people use Anki, which is insane to me.
