We've really come a long way, but there's still a long way to go.

it has definitely gotten worse for me as I get older, and I have more responsibilities with less direct deadlines and accountability.

Yes, so 30% of 1 gram is 300mg

Yes im not on adhd meds lol I don't think I have adhd 
I was adding the 1g-1kmg think for reference and forgot to add the 30% detail oops.
And the rest of it still has me a bit confused. Was this all an "if" scenario or were you prescribed them once?
No I mean I just feel like shit after I take amphetamines so if I did get them for issues ( idk executive dysfunction, dunno if it helps for that even but) I would feel like shot but also mby the shot feeling just cus I take so much lol. Don't think my tolerance will ever b normal again tho, brain fr broken forever in the dopamine and serotonin department, wouldn't work. Sad life indeed
ah ok ye might be some issues there since the average prescription is between 20-40mg.

My brain just shuts off when I need to do smth boring n its annoying. Impossible to perform well in the school kitchen or tidy up after myself cus my brain legit just can't register the clutter and mess I make, and when I have to do smth I don't want to do my brain is just ok goodbye n I stand still just looking into space for 10 minutes after every little task, loves it

For me it's hard to rly tell. I feel in some ways it's better as an adult but I have also had the benefit of having mental help since I was really young for other reasons. I probably wouldn't have known about my ADHD if I didn't already need treatment for anxiety.
School was hardest for me so finally not having to worry about studying, homework, and tests has made a huge difference.

Thats horrible! There are still a lot of stigmas and misinformation regarding ADHD and related ones. My dad didnt wanted me to get diagnosed because when he was a child the doctors and people didnt treat him well, he has dyslexia and probably adhd too. I hope we get to a point where we don't feel judged or that we have to hide who we are.

I mean yeah knowing from a younger age probably makes a huge difference
when I was researching prior to my diagnosis, everything I read says its gets better as you get older, not worse, but I feel like that took into account folks who knew they had ADHD, and were receiving medication and therapy and learning how to live with it, whereas undiagnosed adults just seem to get worse because we have no practice

I was also diagnosed as a child and i honestly think is way better to be treated as a child than as an adult. When you are a child its easier for you to adapt and to " reduce" your symptons.

My mom has ADHD, but she has super hyperactive ADHD, and also Bipolar 1. Back when she was diagnosed with ADHD in the 80s, the meds really did kinda "zombify" kids, because they just didn't know as much about dosage and there weren't as many options to try. So she never got medicated, because my grandma didn't feel like it was safe, and back then it may not have been. 

My mother was literally locked in windowless rooms and isolated for "not listening" and "being disruptive" when really, she had severe ADHD, and was partially deaf.

Yeah, it's too broad. Of course those who have been in treatment learning how to cope and likely being medicated will see an improvement with age. Anyone who hasn't has likely subconsciously learned to mask and will stay stagnant or get worse.
I was diagnosed kind of late considering I was seeing a therapist and psychiatrist since I was 5 or 6 and the suspicions didn't arise until I was 15 and then sent to a psychologist for testing.
