For me it was that my ADHD was well managed in the highly structured confines of my parental-supervised public education. Once I was put into a dorm by myself for the first time in my life and simultaneously stripped of the structure I previously depended on, I failed almost predictably. In my adult life, covid or forced working from home, has lead to the same trouble. It's hard to consistently achieve when I am by myself and can't latch onto other people's habits. Perhaps I am a parasite of humanity, but I try my best.

Statistically speaking you are probably doing amazingly well if you consider how much more likely people with ADHD are to become addicted to substances, how much more likely they are to get into car crashes, how much more likely they are to end up homeless or unemployed. And I'm pretty sure statistically speaking the majority of people with ADHD does not get a college degree and is less likely to do so. I'm not saying you should "victimize" yourself or something but it's just that nothing you mentioned surprised me when you said ADHD.
