Back to school
If I were you, I'd avoid online classes, at least in the beginning. It is so easy to procrastinate in an online class!!
Head for a community college where you can receive free tutoring, and free access to their disability department. Work with the disability specialist to see what kind of accommodations you may need. Its all free and confidential.
And don't be afraid to disclose tol your instructors that you are ADD. Community colleges are filled with fellow ADDers. But when you disclose, you also need to tell the instructor some things they can do to help you. They could provide copies of their notes to you, or go over assignments with you during their office hours. Befriending an isntructor is the best way to make it through college. Perhaps you will meet some other students in your classes who are ADD as well.
Hire a coach if necessary. Also, some community colleges have "learning coaches" who meet with you each week to stay on task.
Best of luck to you
