Regarding ADHD specifically I think we (in most of the western world at least) live in societies that demand a lot from the individual regarding planning, structure, bureaucratic work and timeliness - all things that are difficult for most people with ADHD. So yes, that would be taking away their ability to function as members of society.

In this sense, ADHD medication is still not a cure, but a tradeoff that allow us to keep having the same expectation of peoples ability to comply with the above values, regardless of who they are. As the expectations become more demanding, so does the need for ADHD medication.

My original point was not that it is good to take away medication and leave people to themselves, but that (in the case of ADHD) embracing neurodiversity and the demands we put on each other as a society could lessen the need for medication, thereby making less medication = good. Of course this is very much an oversimplification of what would be needed.

For me, the biggest problem is that there appears to be very little awareness in politics about this tradeoff. Keeping the same kind of societal demands and also wanting less medication is impossible and harmful.
