Remember when My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic became big?
I babysat kids at the time and ended up watching it a lot with them. I couldn't help relating to the character Pinkie Pie. To most outside observers, she's random as hell. But if you pay attention, she's really thinking several steps ahead of the others. There was an episode where she clearly figured out a solution early on, but nobody else is on her level, so although she went about working toward the solution in the background, one could easily assume she was just dicking around. Then near the end, everything comes together. She knew the problem, she knew the solution, and now she's there to save the day.
She is ADHD incarnate, complete with outside assumptions that underestimate her intelligence and abilities. But if you've also got a brain that jumps from topic-to-topic at a rapid pace, it can be easy to understand her "random" (not random at all) trains of thought.
