There are meds like Vyvanse and Adderall, but they do not magically fix time blindness. They help with focus. They do not manage your time for you, build better habits for you, or teach you how to function better. You still have to do that part yourself.
I got diagnosed late for the same reason a lot of women did. My ADHD did not look the way people expected it to. I was not the hyper little boy bouncing off the walls. I was the weird and quirky girl, always getting caught daydreaming.
I still remember sitting in class, zoning out, then snapping back and realizing I had missed half the lesson and my notebook was full of doodles instead of notes.
So I learned how to work around it.
I copied notes from friends. I built routines. I figured out what worked for my brain and what did not, then worked with that instead of against it.
I could not retain a damn thing reading three assigned chapters at a time. I would forget half of it almost immediately. But hand me the whole book and I could tell you every detail in it by the end.
That is what my ADHD looked like.
It made things harder. It still does. But harder is not impossible, and meds are not a replacement for learning how to manage yourself.
