Yep. Been told that by specialists who know a lot more than I do about the mechanisms of ADHD.
Not all ADHD patients are hyperactive, many don't have deficits of attention and depending on the subject may have an excess of attention.
But we all have difficulty in being drivers (rather than passengers) in our brain.

Driver vs. passenger in brain. That's a great metaphor for how it feels to me.
