Ask for formal accommodations. In the US, students and workers with disabilities (and, again, ADHD can qualify as a disability) are legally entitled to reasonable accommodations. Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and 504 plans protect students, and the ADA (the Americans with Disabilities Act) protects those who are no longer in school. The Job Accommodation Network’s website (askjan.org) lists accommodations by disability or impairment, and it even has a live chat option for those who need guidance.
