There are good reasons why this seems to be true even if it isn't... you take a hyperactive person with ADHD, because they have poor executive control of motor function, and give them a therapeutic dose of a stimulant, suddenly they can control motor function. It appears on the surface to be almost exactly the opposite of giving someone a high stimulant dose. They appear to be opposite responses, but in fact are the same type of response... it's just that the ADHD person is regaining a level of executive control that the non-ADHD person already had anyways.
