Correlation is not causation. It's also likely that there was more awareness in urban areas, access to mental healthcare, schools that could look for ADHD synonyms. Moreover, ADHD was also a thing 30 years ago when there weren't any screens; it just wasn't diagnosed. There are many people who got diagnosed in adulthood. One of the key diagnostic criteria for adults is: the symptoms should have been present since childhood. Let me tell you this, many adults who got diagnosed late, absolutely had these symptoms as kids and have a lot of secondary psychological conditions due to undiagnosed ADHD.
