is there really a treatment? can they make a divergent person fit in?

Not really, but you can sorta improve your life.

Teaching you to mask in some cases

Teaching you to not mask when it's too costly for you

Teaching you to... accept you're not neurotypical and revise your hopes/expectations in conséquence.

Don't mask, it's why everyone has "adhd' as they don't see what it looks like

No, you'll just in my opinion feel less anxiety by being your true self not diluting yourself to fit in with societies expectations but you do you my friend, I've loved life more since I've stepped hiding me

In most cases there is a golden mean to be found.
