> I've been told I have ADHD, but I do fine and manage time well when I'm in an actual job setting with stakes.

That's part of ADHD, too, though. A big part of ADHD is executive dysfunction and one way to activate it is by applying accountability. I can't say whether or not you have it, but that's not a good metric to discount the possibility.

I have ADHD and am the prototypical gifted kid who continuously failed throughout school, but is really good in a work environment.
