Q: MRI shows microvascular ischemia - Does this suggest ADHD?

A recent MRI/MRA indicated that "there are scattered areas of abnormally increased signal on both the FLAIR and T2 weighted images in the subcortical white matter of both frontal lobes with an appearance and distribution consistent with incidental areas of microvascular ischemia." Is this medical support for ADHD diagnosis? I've had ADHD since I was a kid. I'm an adult now.
