I wish the real world generally valued employees as people instead of numbers on a spreadsheet. These individuals can get jobs with dementia but I can't seem to get a job with ADHD. I guess "our employees can't regulate their attention, just go with it" isn't a compelling hook for the vast majority of businesses.

Your ADHD would be an adaptive trait in other eras, though. It would make you an excellent hunter and tracker, and probably a fearsome improvisational tactician on the battlefield. In a less technological era, you would likely be a chieftain or better, thanks to your impressive ability to provide meat to your people and beat the shit out of other tribes.
None of that is very useful to you in this world of cubicles and meetings and emails, but maybe someday, managers and entrepreneurs will find ways to enable people like you and help you work to your true potential.
