Another anecdote from someone on HN, which probably biases pretty hard for people who have had success medicating ADHD. I dropped out of a bottom tier state school at 19 studying CS with essentially a 0.0. In my mid 20s I was diagnosed with ADHD by a GP and a psychiatrist and got a second opinion from a second psychiatrist who said the first two were wrong. I stopped medication because of sentiment like that expressed in the article. A year or two later I decided I didn't like what I was doing, and wanted to return to school. I saw a second GP and got rediagnosed and prescribed. I'm now studying CS at a top 5 university with a 4.0. My personal opinion is that there is more harm from the negative stigma associated w/ ADHD prescription than good, but you can imagine I would be biased given my narrative.
