One of my favorite podcasts did an episode on Adderall. Most of the info won’t be new, but there were some interesting snippets in there. I also thought it was a useful educational resource to share with your family and friends.

I would never disclose at work because there are no reasonable accommodations for the type of work I do.
Same.
On contrary, I would say disclose but know how to frame it and what you need. E.g I would mention I'm welcoming following up as this helps me remember about tasks or ask for written requests if someone calls me with elaborate ask.
From physical support, I asked for noise-cancelling headphones and we have quiet working zones (more separated desks, enclosed area, no calls) at each floor so there is less distractions. From things that would be helpful, captions in zoom calls and also voiceover in mandatory trainings that require a lot of reading.
From another angle, my opinion is that your immediate team can support you better if they know the diagnosis.
Hybrid work schedule with at least 3 WFH days per week, and a set starting time. These are very small things, but it affords me some protection. I have an airtight reason to decline meetings before my start time without being encouraged to “just push through” or “be a team player.” The WFH part makes sure I have time to get all my work done, because I’m far less productive in our sensory nightmare of an office. Office days are for networking and socializing and WFH days are when the work actually gets done.
I haven’t disclosed, but I negotiate this with most of my project teams.

I don’t think it’s good to disclose unless you need accommodations that you can’t manage to get otherwise.
Under ADA, employees must demonstrate that ADHD severely limits one or more major life activities, and the accommodation must not cause undue hardship for the company.
While ADA puts some protections in place, it doesn’t stop people from discriminating.
