What is something that you were surprised about being able to do?

Stop spreading misinformation? What the fuck are you talking about? And neither did I say that any of what Barkley is wrong.
What's worse here is that not once did anything you quote or state actually address the point at hand that you've stated you've needed it to function as an adult, which is just untrue.

In that remark, "function as an adult" was in the context of just "trying" to have self motivation.
That's probably the first thing you should have clarified, instead of hours later. The connection between being an adult and "trying" to have motivation is a vague connection that isn't connotative.
Like I thought, you're harboring resentment that is unrelated to me.
At this point, it's most definitely related to you. You're the exact type of asshole out there that will try to fall back on what someone else said about their brain instead of laying out what they have and have not tried, and how and why medication works for them. If you had tried that before, that would have been one of the first arguments out of your mouth, because people who have worked really hard for something will damn well defend it. All you've done this whole argument is point back to ONE dude and what he's said. NOTHING about your own experiences or anything showing what most have gone through who have ADHD.
Dyslexia is, by definition, a disability. * WHOOSH *. You completely missed my point. I'm saying people have become the goddamn leader of the free world without any medication. What the fuck is your excuse?

Please watch the videos so you can learn more about the actual facts of ADHD
Motherfucker I've watched them over and over again. I've poured over research, doctors, others with ADHD, fucking everything, because that shit is awful. All you seem to do is hold to Dr. Barkley like your one-stop-shop lord and savior and it is the only type of information you'll ever need. Do you even have ADHD? Or were you bored in class one day and thought you'd go ahead and ask for pills after school?

at least stop [...] being a dick
This is the real goddamn world. This isn't some bullshit "safe space" where no one has to have their feelings hurt like some fantasy world.
