So many abelist responses harping on about how kids should be exercised more, or it's all big pharma. ADHD and other neurodiversity is not anything that exercise can cure. People with ADHD function differently - but when did you assume that was bad? People with ADHD are typically incredibly creative, amazing problem solvers, excellent at risk analysis or data analysis. They're contributing to the world in so many incredible ways in a world that is determined to label them and make life harder. It's hard, it's stressful, it's often soul destroying trying to function in a normative society.
Oh and it isn't a new discovery - even the most basic level of research could show just how long ADHD has had its name and the previous interpretations. 
Instead of asking why someone doesn't fit in your box, try asking if the box is suitable or outdated

In the old days, ADD and ADHD were terms coined to describe children who  
 suffered minor to traumatic brain damage, and were consequently unable   
to maintain attention. Stimulants have a history of helping people with   
brain injuries have a higher quality of life. I'm not here to say anything is 'good' or 'bad', im just saying that some folks lose the opportunity to be themselves when they are told they have a vague disorder, and then are prescribed drugs that can change their personalities, and brain function, or lead to the use of more serious drugs. The hard part of all of this is assuming there exists some neuro-normalcy, like we're all supposed to function at some standard, rather than just being the unique individuals we were born to be.
