Yes.
I found it intersting the author stated, "If it is indeed a context-driven disorder, let's change the contexts and not just support and accomodate the needs of children with attention surplus disorder" interesting.
Actually, aren't many psych disorders such as depression and anxiety also at least partially context-driven? IMHO our genes and minds did not evolve to thrive in our modern-day society.
Also, IMHO the term "attention surplus disorder" is dubious and does not contribute anything new or insightful to the discussion of ADHD.
