I am unsure of why you feel taking medications will undo your neurodiversity, leading you to say "I don't have plans on taking any medications because I feel being neurodivergent has helped with a lot of things". It will only channel it better in my personal experience. Let the medical professionals take a call on whether or not you need medications. You aren't qualified, informed, or equipped to make that call.
Whether you take medication or not, go to a psychologist who knows these conditions well and undergo CBT. Medicine can only take you from A to B. Holistic treatment by including therapy and any other lifestyle modifications is what is shown to have the biggest effect. Any medication will help your brain focus better, get distracted less. But where you choose to focus can't be corrected by medication. So first try to understand your own neurodiversity better and please stop seeing it as something that needs a "fix".
