I believe it's real, but also a symptom of increased exposures & constrained choices. Someone recently described it as genetics says whether you have ADHD, but life experience determines the strength of the symptoms. So we can be exposed to more things that exacerbate ADHD and make the symptoms worse. Similarly as lifestyles become more constrained - more jobs are sitting at a computer, more paperwork requirements, less rewarding outdoor work, more requirement to drive, more exposure to advertising, influence campaigns, addictive substances & technologies - existing symptoms set people further apart from the norm and further at risk.
IMHO Cell phones, desk jobs & cars are bigger problems for ADHD people than everyone else, and they're big problems for everybody.
