While I understand the point of the article mainly being about adapting environments to better suit ADHD, I do disagree with the idea that it shouldn't be treated like a medical disorder. I was diagnosed with ADD (before they were merged into one disorder,) And it did effect a lot of my ability to learn in school. Unless it was something that I was interested in even outside of school. I'm well aware that this is my own opinion, but the rapid influx of people exhibiting these issues seems unusual. I'm wondering if this could be caused by some environmental factors during and even before childhood. Having some form of diagnoses would be a help to potentially finding the root cause of the issue. While this claim is unfounded (I have yet to see any research around it.) I think the current increase in ADHD like symptoms could be something like the leaded gas issues of the 1960s - 1970s. I would rather minimize the issues than trying to workaround them as even with the mitigations in place it'll still effect abilities to work on things that people do like.
