The fact the article is blocked puts a damper on being able to converse. I just opened a letter from a health care provider, a third party to a clinic that ran tests from my primary care provider, whose notice was about a data breach. Basically, everything was taken. Everything. If you ask, the answer is yes. I'm disinclined to create yet another account on another site that I have to keep track of at the moment.
About the topic. My wife has inattentive ADD and it has put a great deal of tension on our relationship. A few things have improved after she got meds. Because of the fears around stimulant medication, and some intentional scarcity by Pharma, the costs have increased and they are now more difficult to get. I have to wonder...is this "new perspective" simply a reaction to those issues? Is it a reality that leaving everything you pick up in the house where ever you distractedly last left it, having multiple bills sent to collections agencies, and struggling to maintain a normal friendships, not...a disorder?
I do think people are affected to varying degrees, like most things. And I have no way of knowing whether that's a point the article mentioned. But I am suspicious given the problems of the medications that effectively treat the decrease in activity of the executive function in the brain. Cognitive behavioral therapy is NOT a cure-all.
If you are curious about ADHD/ADD, I highly recommend looking for presentations by Dr. Barkley on YouTube.

- TomK32 2y agoI second watching Russ Barkley PhD on Youtube. Inspiring that he still covers the topic in retirement because he views it as the most underdiagnosed disorder in psychology despite being so easy to be treated. In regards to meds, this is stupidity and avoidable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRPeU1DYOWA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRPeU1DYOWA
