ADHD doesn't affect everyone the same though. For example, I have ADHD. I learned to drive at 15, got my license at 16, and managed to get my first speeding ticket at the age of 30, and my first car accident at 31 (of which I wasn't at fault). I wasn't diagnosed/medicated until I was almost 23.I do not think I am any better nor worse than the average driver either. Perhaps I have been lucky, but who knows? Also, just because one is medicated does not mean it magically reduces all symptoms. IIRC, I think most adults only get something like 50% reduction in symptoms at best. In my experiences, I find the efficacy of ADHD medication to be vastly overstated. I think this is mainly due to a strong honeymoon period the medication provides in the beginning. What I mean is that, the medications are extremely effective for a certain time period, but the longer one is one the medications the greater the diminishing returns become. There are only so many options/formulations and dosages can only be increased to an extent. Also, euphoria is a very common side-effect when first starting the medications. So, a lot of life-changing anecdotes that people comment on the Internet in the beginning of treatment should be taken with a grain of salt. After a decade of treatment, most people cannot tell if I am medicated or not anymore. As in, most people think I am not medicated despite being so.
