Trouble Maintaining Steady Work

Hello r/ADHD, I’m a 30Y Male. I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 5Y and was put on ADHD medication basically up until I stopped going to school. Now the medication did help a bit but I still really had a hard time in school. Not academically in the sense of understanding the work but behavior wise which contributed to the bad grades because of so many suspension. So I lot of the 1/4 of the year I was probably suspended or forced to an alternative school.

Now moving in to adulthood I’ve been working since I was 18Y and yet to be able to maintain a job longer than two years. The average is about 6months to 1year at a job. Now truthfully I really have a hard time understanding what I do to get fired because I am told that I have a great work ethic. But I don’t get along with other employees.. or sometimes they think I’m a great worker just not for them. I’ll apply for jobs, interviews go great we talk about management positions because I seem like a great leader. I have college degrees. Shortly there after. I seem to loose the job.

Now I just hope I’m not the only one who has experienced anything like this. And if you have experience anything like this or have any advice to help me out. I am more than willing to listen. Right now I am on 4 different types of medication and have been for a year my doctors say I am the most mentally stable I’ve ever been yet I still can’t keep a job just looking for help, conversations or advice anything please. Just lost
