There’s a point in the movie Frank where the protagonist is talking to the parents of the mentally disabled musical savant he rode to fame and the subject eventually turns to his disability. The protagonist suggests to Frank’s parents that Frank’s experiences with mental illness are probably what made him so good at music. The parents object, and insist that he was always good at music; his illness only ever held him back.

Smarter and faster, but the same fuel tank and no brakes.
all i can say is ive met many people with adhd who are definitely not smarter than, well, anybody.
I don't think ADHD itself makes you smarter. It's more about autism and some personality disorders which look very similar to ADHD or even live alongside it.
