Even if it doesn't bring anything novel having confirmed results is good in science.

Norepinephrine is another neurotransmitter highly implicated in ADHD.

Quoting from Wikipedia: Norepinephrine release is lowest during sleep, rises during wakefulness, and reaches much higher levels during situations of stress or danger, in the so-called fight-or-flight response. In the brain, norepinephrine increases arousal and alertness, promotes vigilance, enhances formation and retrieval of memory, and focuses attention; it also increases restlessness and anxiety.

The trouble of being to regulate wakefulness has been in my personal experience more pronounced than attention jumping around. But that's likely fairly individual. I wouldn't be surprised if the inattentive subtype & hyperactive subtype categories we use now were related to balance of these two.
