ADHD and videogames as a therapeutic device

I was reading this article on ADHD and ADD in women;

applies to me too, I was reading up on the symptoms. My eyes went to a sidebar link to a "Video Games for ADHD" article, and it took me to something I recall: Playing Grand Theft Auto on the PSP helped alleviate my ADHD when driving.

Specifically, driving the motorcycle all over town, making swinging constant lane changes, hard turns throughout the city, it helped me alleviate my need to constantly do things perfect while driving, to carve a perfect line, to get very "I-have-to-do-this-repeatedly-until-I-get-it-just-right" in my thinking.

This stuff works.
