  Then there's the periods of seeing that mental priority list,  
  but being unable to commit to any single task to the extent that 
  nothing gets done. If there's giant pressure or stress behind 
  something, it could force me to act, but otherwise nothing.

  "Hyperfocus" is kind of true in that when you unhinge from that 
  mental priority list you stop feeling the distractions, but the 
  problem is you don't exactly get to choose what you want to 
  focus on. 

Get out of my brain! Yeah. This! Eerily accurate description of how I feel a lot of the time.

  It [ADHD] doesn't make you an incredibly quick thinker, you 
  don't necessarily "think through every consequence of what you 
  just said before you finish your sentence" what is more 
  realistic is we think through some things unrelated to what was 
  just said, sometimes this might lead to an alternate line of 
  reasoning, a "thinking outside the box".

Yeah, I agree with this. I think that people with high intelligence and ADHD often conflate the effects of one with the effects of the other.

Being smart makes you think ahead; having ADHD makes you think sideways. Together, they can be a real doozy, huh?
