ADHD and jazz go pretty well together imho, it helps me focus like no other music, but if its too unfamiliar then it becomes too overwhelming and i end up focusing too much on just the music. a good hard bop record with a nice time feel where the playing kinda hints at the avantgarde just makes me gel, theres both novelty and creative expression connected to something familiar in the music, theres a rhythm but its fluid and constantly reshaping itself to frame whats going around it. sometimes theres something that feels like a wierd impulsive experiment happening in the music but they always make great effort to integrate it into the collective, its very easy to identify with those kinds of moments when you have ADHD.
