ADHD is generally just when your executive functioning doesn't develop as well as the rest of your brain, and so things are asymmetrical. You have less control over your actions because executive functioning is impaired. This gets commonly confused with highly intelligent people who cant/refuse to focus on the boring and mundane. So we get this mythos, but really, the highly creative intelligent get mixed up with cognitively impaired. There are other types of people who for whatever reason have imbalance in the regions of their brain and end up with unique functioning. This is where "edge" comes from. Deformities that lead to small verticals of super human capability, which comes at the expense of being able to live a normal life.
