This one speaks to me on multiple levels.
It's a reason I dropped my scepticism of medication and went to get a diagnosis and subsequent prescription. I am glad I did - and that it worked first try. (It's not guaranteed anything would, depending on unknown factors and probably autism also influences the effectiveness)
I can confirm: At first, it really feels that way. But now, half a year later, it balanced out a little and I am only medium fast. Still - much improvement compared to before.

I was on meds when I was a kid and I was not the dog. I was a shaky, confused, mentally unstable, paranoid wreck. The urgency on everything was cranked up to 11 and I still had no autonomy. It was baaaaad.
Valid, too, of course.
I am speaking from the perspective of a late-diagnosed adult. With kids and teenagers it is difficult to gauge the cause of mental health problems as well as the effectiveness of treatment. You better find a doctor that knows what they're doing... Sorry yours didn't - not all of them do, unfortunately.
If you're interested in trying more meds, I suggest vyvanse if you haven't tried that. It's much smoother than the short acting ones like adderall. Doesn't give me that "wired" feeling that can lead to those issues.
Everybody's body reacts different to medications. Please don't recommend medications to strangers on the internet.
Does that rhyme with Beyoncé?
It rhymes with "try pants"
Or Behanced?
