Ever look at a kid w: Adhd watching tv or playing a video game? People with adhd can often have remarkable focus (for particular things). I would see how well data analysis holds your focus before making major life decision. Many people respond remarkably well to treatment too. Good luck.

Not if treated: In my experience, there are many professionals in a whole range of specialties who have adhd and who function quite well, especially if they are receiving appropriate treatment. http://www.creativebalance.com/atdefdiswhat.html.
