Since college, I had my doubts about my ADHD, but as soon as I started working, I had to get it diagnosed, and I have been on medication (stimulant and non-stimulant). My work significantly improved, I feel like the fog has cleared up, and whatnot. Although after getting diagnosed, I asked my doc if i should disclose this at my workplace, he asked me not to because, from his experience, his patients faced some or the other kind of discrimination after disclosure of their diagnosis. On a lighter note, he asked me to disclose it if I start working for a US or EU-based firm.
But apart from this, do let me know if I can help you in any way with managing symptoms and work.
