Why? It's a consequence of labelling a sizeable swathe of the IT workforce as "Disordered", having a "Deficit", and a "Mental condition" (which is NOT to be talked about in any context unapproved by the grand council of ADHD). If you didn't slap derogatory labels on people, just let people who wanted to use amphetamines and methylphenidate, and addressed problems like organisation and hyperactivity independently people would end up with roughly the same quality of life but without the othering and stereotyping. Which is to say, this sort of stereotyping is an inevitable and continual iatrogenic consequence of the sociomedical status quo. When something is labelled a deficit and disorder - then people almost naturally compare that thing to other things they do not like.
