I was watching a video from dr berkely and he said its the only disorder that hits all factors of executive function.

What’s a digitspan?
A test for working memory.

I don't have ADHD and my upper limit for digits seems to be around 6.
It took a few tries, but if I memorize the numbers in chunks of 3, then 3, then 2 then it's a lot easier.
I believe 6 or 7 is the average across the whole population
