My understanding is that is still hypothetical at this point, albeit the leading hypothesis. Personally, I think that ADHD is just an abstraction for a set of behaviors. I am not trying to downplay its severity, it's caused me undue suffering, but my point being that I believe there are multiple etiologies that have fairly similar symptoms.
After all, stimulants have a wide variance in efficacy for people with ADHD, and there are plenty of medications that are even non-stimulants, so I think that should be a sign that there is much more to this disorder(s) than just dopamine and norepinephrine.
But hey, what do I know?
