Let’s put it this way: if you took out someone’s liver, would you say that the person is the sum of their parts minus a liver? If so, then congratulations that’s also how it works for ADHD. There is a pathology and that changes how the mind works. To argue otherwise would be akin to arguing that people without livers should just metabolize harder.
No, you are a software layer, and actually only a small part of it, that runs on hardware of brain. The “you”, the consciousness, the ego, is very illusive part of that software. You are not even the one who thinks the thoughts, because the thoughts just appear somewhere mysteriously in conciseness, in “you”.

You are your brain.
