If antibacterial products contribute to ADHD, I doubt it's through that mechanism. The impact of antibacterial cleaners versus non-antibacterial cleaners on a person's overall exposure to bacteria is negligible. On the other hand, there's evidence that triclosan, the usual active ingredient in antibacterial soap, could be an endocrine disruptor.
