At first reading of your comment it doesn't sound like it agrees with what you're saying, at least the part about having different effect on people without ADHD.

It's pretty well demonstrated/documented that the psychopharmacology of people with ADHD is different to that of people without ADHD. Just because Scott Alexander overlooks that information and cherry-picks examples to dismiss based on anecdote (For example, see how he dismisses the one case with "kids are just weird" without even bothering to consider that the psychiatrist in question had more information about the child and what "regular behaviour" for that child in particular, is) doesn't make that less so. I actually deliberately stay away from SSC because it has "less wrong" brainworms present. Not only is that community regularly participated in by the founders of neoreactionary conservativism (scott is outspoken against it but it hasn't stopped his site and the LW community having large swathes of them), but they deliberately obfuscate their terms and have a distaste for any literature that could disprove their pet theories or how they constantly misapply bayes theorem, and they regularly produce articles based on spurious evidence that can sound convincing to laymen who do not know enough about the subjects in question to understand why their ideas are incorrect, or to rebutt them.
