I didn't suggest there was a conspiracy to remove ADHD. Only that it was seen as a disorder. That has effects. They've learned to accept it in programmers because it's so common. But what if I were something else? If my boss was able to diagnose me via behavior on corporate monitored hardware he could fire me and I'd have no way of knowing if it was bigoted. He may not even really know. It's hard to control subconscious stuff like that. Employers are already doing these things in other ways. They have people take morality questionnaires that arguably measure nothing at all. Ultimately it won't take an obvious form like conspiring to eliminate ADHD. That actually makes it far scarier. We're going to subject the entire population to an arbitrary and systematic prejudice of correlates. Simply because it's good for the bottom line of each individual business to win the hiring competition.
