I have only experienced ADHD second hand, my partner has been diagnosed with it years ago, and a good friend of mine as well. I recognise the "coping mechanisms" with alcohol, and the frustration of getting mundane things done.
The article suggests that the intense concentration or "hyperfocus" they have when they find something interesting can be used to their advantage. Both my partner and friend have gotten into occupations where they can do this. But there will always be mundane things that have to get done as well. Everyone has to pay taxes, and has to watch their spending. Few people like to do this, but almost everyone has to. Having a thrilling job does not alleviate you from these things.
So yes, it can probably help somewhat, but it can't "fix" ADHD completely.
No amount of structure can remove the fact that they are inherently extremely unrewarding, and even staring out the window offers more rewards. The stick just doesn't seem to work for my ADD inclined mind - never has.
