Every time ADHD coaching is mentioned, part of that process is learning planning ahead for distractions, part is learning to externalise reminders / triggers and hacking the reward functions. Maybe there's some paper which tests each of those in isolation, but I'm not going to dig that deep. In aggregate, ADHD coaching has positive results. Pairing is an extreme version of one part of it. > Also, fear (an external motivator) Pairing with others shouldn't involve fear. It's just two people being able to share and communicate the motivation to initiate the next step / question.

Managing symptoms is therapy?
>> Anecdotally
> Yeah...
Then ignore everything that came after that?
> Sure. But is it worse than unmanaged ADHD which also results in brain changes over time?
Physiologically, yes? I am honestly concerned for people who think eating amphetamine or similar drugs daily has no negative outcomes.
> It's a whole category, but you could start with this collection:
There is zero mention of anything discussed here in that root paper, but cool information bomb. No one is going to read 40 papers to respond to you. Honestly, that is a dickhead thing to share.
> shouldn't involve fear
If you've never felt nervous (fear) while pair programming, you might be experiencing a bit of over-confidence.
