From the article you linked:

Rote learning was (and still is) one of my big weaknesses. Tools like Anki help but going through them is way easier when I use stimulants. So maybe it depends on the student, but I'm wary of statements like "ADHD meds for non-ADHD students don't really help", it seems more to be pushing an agenda than telling the truth.
