My daughter has ADD and was not diagnosed until she was an adult. She was never hyperactive, and she was well behaved, so she had lots of problems in school but no one every put it together.
Based on her experience, assuming you have a job you like/want to keep, you MAY want to consider telling your employer and getting documentation. You can qualify for reasonable accomodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act. This includes things like giving you written instrucitons instead of telling you something while you're in the middle of doing something else and expecting you to remember.
Unfortunately, this could also backfire, so proceed carefully.
