I've yet to meet someone with ADHD or ADHS that doesn't consume too much.
Most children I know from kindergarden or school (as a parent) bragged about their gaming consoles, gaming mobiles and consumption of drinks full of sugar and caffeine.
And their parents are dumb enough to talk down everybody else who sees excessive gaming critical.
No joke: some of them choose "gaming" as a project topic and the teachers failed to dismiss it because they're happy those kids are interested in anything at all.
It's not black and white. Maybe those kids would have issues even without overconsumption. But I don't see anyone trying a proper approach (remove or at least restrict the distraction first).
Instead those diagnoses seem to have become a cheap excuse for free wheeling.
