There's a large range of people who do have ADHD in a non-debilitating way who benefit from medication.
Can I function without meds? Sure. But then I have to spend every single day wrestling my brain to the ground continually. There is no room in my life for anything but "functioning at work", because it's tremendously exhausting (much more than "normal") and leads to rapid burnout.
I'm a fairly decent SWE. Ceteris paribus I am - post meds - roughly at the same quality level/volume of output I was before, but I have a better life overall.
So maybe don't bulldoze a whole bunch of innocent bystanders because you personally had bad experiences with a few people abusing stimulants? (Also: Not all ADHD meds are stimulants)
