For people with ADHD though, the drugs are the cure. Stimulants are a miracle drug for those lacking executive function.

In my experience it was the opposite - there were almost no kids labeled ADHD. Where did you live that everyone was labelled ADHD?
Most people blamed the behaviour of difficult children on their difficult parents.
That being said there are a lot of people who are purposely seeking ADHD meds who know they are not ADHD just to get drugs. Those people are kind of ruining it for everyone else. They are usually pretty easy to spot though
But sometimes I think difficult children are automatically labeled ADHD and the solution is drugs without trying to find the cause.
I reminded of this Ted talk https://www.ted.com/talks/sir_ken_robinson_do_schools_kill_c...
