That's a funny video, but what am I expected to get from it?
To be fair, the article does make the point pretty strongly that it is very hard to separate ADHD from natural variations of attention, concentration etc:
Also, if attention etc is a "normally distributed trait", any behavioural intervention that can help someone near the middle of the distribution has a pretty good chance of helping someone near the extremes, also. To take the example of height again, just because someone is short doesn't mean they won't look taller with high heels.In fact, if you think about it, such interventions are designed exactly to help people with poor executive function, as you say. Assuming that this is basically a description of what ADHD is, I don't see why behavioural interventions can't make a dent in it.
