It's real as far as I can tell.
but also I really, really think we're going to see the numbers shooting way up the more kids we see raised on tablets and "smartphones." To be totally, totally honest, I think there's a major overstimulation/nurture component here which is probably being unfairly downplayed - the fact that much of the "mainstream" internet today is completely filled with extremely manipulative ads (which isn't even seen as a controversy anymore) and consumerist "content" (ads and "reviews" for toys, games, etc. disguised as shows) on a scale which never existed before (the '80s had kids' cartoons that were just promo for toys, but they still had to put in the effort of writing and animating those) probably has a major effect on the ability of people growing up now to focus and manage their time appropriately.
