Is it true that Ritalin only works for kids with ADHD?

My understanding is that stimulation medication only works for hyperactivity children and can cause normal children to be hyper.

This is true for children with the hyperactive/impulsive type of ADHD. However, for children with the inattentive type of ADHD, it can have an effect similar to that experienced by normal kids.
