It may be your lucky day, because I've been testing out a diet for ADHD for the past two months and it's been effective.
Some BG: Although ADHD and other Neuroatypical dispositions (such as autism) are mainly genetic, the most up to date research, suggests the severity may be environmentally influenced.
Specifically, something in the environment, typically heavy metals, causes mitochondrial disfunction.
ADHD is one of the potential outcomes for mitochondrial dysfunction, other people may instead suffer from autism, severe depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue or a variety of other disorders, depending on their particular genetics.
DIET: The above in mind, the goal is to repair your mitochondria and improve function. For this you may need to up the amount of redmeat you eat, especially beef, ideally muscle cuts. This is the most important thing. Other than that, eating more leafy greens and strawberries are good. Milk, cheese, mushrooms, veg, fruit etc.
Ultimately you're looking to up your intake of these nutrients: B5, B7, B9, B12, L-Creatine, Alpha Lioic Acid, L-Arginine, Selenium, L-carnitine, Coenzyme Q10, vit C, vit E, Vit B1, vit B2, vit B3
Getting nutrition direct from food is best, but if not possible, supplement where necessary.
It may take at least 28 days to start noticing effects.
CAUSE: the second thing is to identify the environmental aspect in creasing the severity of your symptoms. Heavy metals are the most common because we are exposed to so much.
Some natural ways to rid your body of heavy metals is generous amounts of cilantro/coriander leaves, a type of algae called Chlorella and less effective but not going to hurt is garlic.
(note:I haven't tried Chlorella, but it combined with cilantro/coriander leafs are supposed to be most effective.)
AFTER: Once the severity of your condition has decreased to milder levels, you should be able to control with excersise and caffeine. (Some omega 3 from fish wouldn't hurt either.)
TL;DR: Redmeat, cilantro, and coffee.
Best of luck!
