Of course there are. You can’t chain a brain without doing so physically. The comment you’re replying to is positing the cause of said changes.

You are correct, after re-reading the comment I can see that I misinterpreted the comment as meaning something along the lines of "ADHD people are really just lazy and want special accommodations", which was hasty and cynical on my part.
