Sure, but ADHD has a couple of others features that break from the norm:

* what you find "interesting" is seemingly completely arbitrary, can change in an instant, and is totally outside your control

* when you try to do something "uninteresting", the harder you try to focus on it the more difficult it is to do so.

Can non-ADHD people change what they find interesting at will? I've never met anyone who seems to have that ability, but I suppose I don't know for sure.
