    Well there problem for many ADHD as explained in the post is that we just don’t have the dopamine to even consider starting a task, and a little treat gives us that boost to get going.

    For me personally it’s often a task that I want to accomplish, I just like can’t because brain says no.

      it’s literally just standard operant conditioning, associate the thing with something positive like food until your brain just inherently likes doing the thing.
      Which clearly works really effectively!
