@Pete-Puma It could also be both. ADHD diagnosed people might have differing levels of Dopamine or Noradrenalin uptake in the frontal lobes from the average person.
Also, is the problem that the frontal lobes are having difficulties at the dopamine receptors? Is there a transport problem? or what if the brain is not producing enough of dopamine or noradrenalin to begin with? There are myriads of biological possibilities explaining a similar set of outcomes and that might result in variations in severity too.
There might also be differing socio-economic levels, support structures, coping strategies, etc. between two different people with ADHD that have the same levels of inattention / impulsiveness, which result in different life outcomes. Your life outcome will influence your quality of life obviously, happiness levels, thought processes and many other things.
There is no reason to assume that it is binary and either one or the other.
