Neurological studies of developmental difference between children with ADHD and baseline give physical evidence that the psychologist interviewed for that opinion piece is demonstrably wrong. In most cases, ADHD in children is the outcome of pieces of the brain not developing at the same pace as the rest of the brain.
That is also why children often "grow out of" the disorder... those components do eventually grow to adult size. They are just slightly behind schedule. ADHD medication is a stimulant, which pushes the logic center of the brain to operate faster. At that point the logic center is able to compensate for the underdeveloped pieces that should be regulating attention.
