> ADHD makes a mockery of working memory.

Honestly, I don't find I have much of a problem with working memory. Sure, my ability to recall a meaningless number several minutes later is absolutely terrible, but a handling an analysis or conversation about a complicated subject (complex is a different matter that relies on raw intelligence more than working memory) with lots of important detail seems to be easier for me, to the point where other people tap out with "information overload" when I'm moving along just fine.

Of course, executing a complicated process is a whole different matter, because the ADHD brain quickly loses interest and focuses on something else.
