ADHD and EMDR

I am a 38-year-old female with severe childhood abuse issues and have been in psychotherapy for 3 years, and have just read your book "Transforming Trauma: EMDR," and was fascinated by it, and am planning to begin EMDR with my therapist. I have also been diagnosed as an adult with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder, and I was curious if this would have an effect on the ability to do the processing work in EMDR sessions. Is there any studies, or has any research been done in this area, or do you have any prior experience treating clients with ADHD and using EMDR?
