I don't know about programming being a cure for A.D.D. or the like as it depends upon the programming enviroment (scripting better than compiled I'd say). I learned early on with a ZX81 and I can say one thing I did learn a bit more patience with the wobberly ram pack and loading/saving times. Though I worked in a nice quite bedroom with no distractions and that is a big factor. I would say that doing martial arts - well kendo helped me alot on many levels. Has nice culture and attitude compared to some of the other martial arts or at least how they are taught. Also `Do` being the way or as apposed to `Jitsu` suffix, which is the art of killing; Does highlight its more zen like mindset. Also knowing what distracts you and how it distracts you and controlling the distractions helps as well. But like anything and anybody - if it works for you then it works nomatter what other people say and stick with your comfort level.
