I was undiagnosed as a child and at 28 I've already managed to get an associate's degree, and a bachelor's degree. I thank my wife later in life here for helping me through this.
While Berkley states this as not being able to use the tools you're taught, as a person with ADHD needing to solve it to succeed in life, teaching myself the skills needed as my ultimate life failure was the palm to my face Berkley shows right away. I taught myself how to cope with this. Rereading chapters of textbooks and taking mad notes, alarms all day everyday, todolists with a priority labelling theme (which I found out is Eisenhower's Productivity Method).
By doing all of this it worked well... Adderall helps me tremendously, but doesn't FIX the issue, it only helps me to cope much easier. My lists are smaller, my alarms are fewer, and my attitude is better. My work performance is so much better as well.

How can I fix it?
