Sounds like you just need interview practice. (Your post seems more about interview nerves than ADHD issues). It’s a different skill, separate from being a good coder. It’s difficult to tell from your post if you have had any interviews yet. You mention “I've never had a real interview after college”. I would specifically look into getting mock interviews where the stakes are low, and get feedback and practice, so you learn how to improve and gain more confidence. You can ask friends, watch YouTube videos (for ideas, but this is not real practice), go to college career networking events, or search for “interview practice” - there are companies and services that offer this. You can get good at this! Good luck!
