Possible - but: Somewhat unlikely. Most adults with ADHD do not have the same set of core symptoms as children as they have evolved coping mechanisms in order to function. Ive attached a link to a test I give patients in the office for adult ADHD. Although, it's quite possible being more relaxed causes you to perform better in games.
