Wow... I really should have connected the dots.
I have ADHD and recently started an SRE squad in our company since I tend to be the go-to person to fix any production issues.
I had never really thought of a connection between those two things until now.
I've been diagnosed with ADHD and I'm not sure I'd qualify as having that trait. So I don't believe this a general sweeping statement you can make for everyone with that, or if your boss even had ADHD.
But maybe check this out and ask if it rings any bells: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/attention-deficit-hyperactivit...
