Saying that only people with ADHD should get ADHD medication sounds similar to me as saying that people who are shit at sports should be allowed to use exogenous testosterone so that they are able to compete. As far as I've understood, ADHD medication works the same way whether you have ADHD or not. In my analogy, the only difference between sports performance and ability to focus is that we don't call bad sport performance a "Muscle Deficiency Disorder" because we lack renounce the idea that everyone should be able to perform at the top level in sports.
