Is a.d.h.d considered a disability for tax purposes?

No. The IRS definition of disabled is:

 

A person is permanently and totally disabled if both of the following apply. He or she can't engage in any substantial gainful activity because of a physical or mental condition. A physician determines that the disability has lasted or can be expected to last continuously for at least a year or can lead to death.
