adhd doesn’t just go away or get better when you get older, you just learn coping strategies that mask the symptoms better. i know from personal experience. i still struggle to do stuff and medication helps a lot. might be worth a shot.
For some people it does change. After all, our bodies are not static. The brain in particular has five major eras[1], with big turning points at around ages 9, 32, 66 and 83. For me, the one at 32 changed me a lot and let me finally understand that my life wasn’t typical.
But it is of course true that you learn to cope better and once you’re done with school/uni, a lot of the situations that ADD made really bad for me simply don’t occur anymore. Any kind of test situation was awful.
