I've got moderate-severe ADHD and I can tell you no amount of societal re-structuring could help me nearly as much as medication. You got the base symptoms down (though I don't have the hyperactive component) but you're missing the nature of the inattention. If something interests me, I can dive into it really deep because my attention is focused like a laser beam. But having that happen is rare and fickle, most of the time (off medication) I can't focus on anything, even things I like. It's a horrible experience, wanting to read a book about science but you can't so you just watch some TV and feel bad about yourself.
