Realistically?

1. Find the copes that get you through the day.

2. Don't tell anyone at work. Ever. You will be seen as unreliable and employers don't need to accommodate the kinds of things adhd does to you.

A byproduct of the interview process is that it weeds out people who suck at talking. I took an acting class and that helped me a lot. In the biz we call this Masking.

Adderall for working hours, weed to calm back and destress down after working hours. It can be really difficult to navigate and contort ourselves to a world that has little tolerance for mental differences, but alas we have no choice so copes are critical.

I can't recommend the weed. It will cloud your brain even if used a small amount daily.
Acting class, for helping with interviews is something I've never heard or read till now. This post is helping me get some diverse perspectives. :)
