It's funny. People with ADHD suffer from attention deficit but at the same time they display hyperattention when they encounter a subject they like. I've experienced it as well: once I start programming I have no problem doing it for 12 hours straight. I've found this trait in many ADHD patients. There's usually something that really turns them on and I always try to find it.
I think of it as an signal/noise ratio problem. Very high signal is needed to grab their attention and there is very low tolerance for noise.
