Is it true that spontaneous (unintentional) mind wandering in adults is associated with higher levels of inattentive and hyperactive ADHD traits?

Yes. A 2018 peer-reviewed study of 80 undiagnosed adults found spontaneous mind wandering related to self-reported inattentive traits and, independent of task difficulty, to hyperactive/impulsive traits. Other items link spontaneous mind wandering to ADHD symptoms more indirectly, through clinical descriptions or mediation analyses.
