Not really…I mean a character with ADHD would make for an interesting character…but it adds nothing to Jaune…well it’s more of a + and – thing…let me try that again, also keep in mind this is speculation based on my opinions so if by volume 7 I am proven horribly wrong don’t maim me for it.

 Jaune as a character seems to be defined by self failure. Sometimes no matter how hard you try or what methods you use, you cannot always achieve something you want because you as a human, but more importantly as a person, have limitations, but not the kind you can push through, because these limitations are made by you without necessary realizing it.

 Jaune has tried, as far as we have seen in volume 1, everything he could think of in order to reach his dream, however he isn’t aware of how important history could be for his future, or that he get’s tunnel vision when fighting alone and forgets to defend himself; which are things he CAN’T figure out on his own, this NEEDS to be pointed out to him by someone who DOES, because not everything CAN BE DONE ALONE.

 Attributing jaunes failures to a mental problem would make his character more sympathetic, yes, but I think it would water down the message a bit, as I feel using a perfectly healthy character, both physically( having a lot of aura) and mentally( idly chatting about his parents), enhances the message better, as it points out that ANYONE has barriers that can’t be crossed without help.

 So to summarize, I don’t think Jaune has ADHD, and he would be a better character if he was left without it, in my opinion of course.
