I wish the author would have given some examples of how programming had cured his ADD, e.g. examples of reduced symptoms of ADD in various life situations after programming.



Good question, DFC.

I've taken up meditation as well and long-distance swimming. I've found it easier to do both of those since I started coding. I find it much easier to set a goal for myself and achieve it rather than think about it, start, stop, start, stop.

Cure may be too strong of a word. As I mentioned in the post, I think my brain as begun to rewire itself for period of intense focus rather than incredibly short sprints.
