Little back story, I was diagnosed in the 80’s as a child and was determined that my iq was high enough that I read and comprehended in the College Sophomore range when I was in 5th grade. They placed me in the gifted program and I did decent in High School with AP classes and Honors level classes. Fast forward to my senior year, my family went to a wedding for my cousin in Boston. I loved the city so much that I hyper focused on going to college in the city. By December I interviewed for two colleges and got into one of them. Fall I was in college in Boston. Only problem was my mom and dad took me off my Adderall so my ADHD went untreated for the first time and I was on my own with no accommodations at all given. Should I feel right to think by my being off my meds in college on my own that my untreated ADHD robbed me of success in college possibly? Instead of going to my classes I stayed in my dorm and spent my entire time fixated on finding a girlfriend. I feel my life would be very different in a good way if I was actually on my meds while in college and never got off them at all in my life. I’m now living on disability because I went untreated due to no insurance and jumped from job to job because I couldn’t hold a job during my whole life as an adult. Am I wrong in my thinking?
