Reply to comment by listenyall in Study finds brain changes associated with ADHD remission. As the brains of those with ADHD mature, some individuals may repetitively engage in strategies that compensate for symptoms. These repetitive behaviors may result in the brain changes seen in those who went into remission. by Wagamaga
It makes sense to me also. The compensation (and masking, etc) someone with unmedicated ADHD has to do is relentless and constant.
After awhile, with much difficulty, it does become subconscious and automatic, much like a part of your personality — or the ADHD itself.
So I’m not at all surprised to hear that it manifests in changes to the brain.

You may want to consider that an example of one of these “very specific tasks” is cryptography, or efficient machine learning algorithms.
Either of these would justify having one in our pocket.
