I understand what you are saying, I went through that myself....but do know that ADHD is covered under the American Disabilities Act so if they have already hired you, then find out about your ADHD and fire you, that is a major no-no on their part...you can sue the crap out of them! And they know it too! It might be a good idea disclosing the ADHD to human resources just to cover your behind in case something happens. But do what you are comfortable with
