My wife has ADD. Along with one other person I know (who also has ADD), she can have parallel thoughts, ordinary, about 3 or 4 concurrent tasks, usually split along sensory modalities. She can multitask. The closest I have come to multitasking was on the rare occasions, I drink coffee, and that’s more of a predictive optimization and pipelining rather than multitasking.
I have asked around of other people who have ADD, and they don’t report parallel thoughts, just very fast context switching.
