How come people with ADD/ADHD have to sit in the same spot everytime?

I notice that people with ADD or ADHD always have to sit in the same spot in a classroom everytime. What the hell is that?
This is college students I’ve noticed doing this. One girl even said “I just really like this seat for some reason” and this other boy freaked out silently because someone took his seat.

    Sometimes the teachers sit people with ADD in the front of the classroom to keep an eye on them and make sure they stay on task and get their work done.

    It helps them have a sense of “order” and routine. It helps them focus better.

    The classroom thats my understanding.
    The front of those with addadhd is like that some of those with addadhd have subtle hearing challenges auditory distractibility where they may.
