Why is this associated with ADHD? I feel like I do this sometimes. (I don't have ADHD I think? Maybe I have some very very mild symptoms at best)

Easily distracted and bored = binging wikipedia and any other reading material you find interesting when you should be doing literally anything else. Combine that with poor impulse control and now you're metaphorically strapping people into chairs and taping their eye lids open for your 6 hour lecture on random things you learned that week.

I have autism and love Wikipedia

Yeah, I do the hyperfixation thing but don't have ADHD (I assume, since I can't focus on more than one thing at a time).
