> ADHD isn't something that people can just willpower their way out of.
I think conflating structured meditation practice with "just willpower your way out of it" is a pretty severe misconception of its own. That's not at all how it's supposed to work. (In fact, if you struggle with focusing your attention in a meditation setting, you're taught not to apply willpower at all; just "notice" that your thoughts have drifted away and comfortably bring them back without judgment. You wouldn't expect this to help, but apparently it does.)
