ADHD/inattentiveness/slowness/mind-fog... will I be successful in this?

So, I have ADHD and to be honest, am pretty slow. Once I get it, I get it, but it takes me about 10 iterations and/or reviews of code to get it or understand it. For example, my first approach of a problem is to while..while...if...while...for...next... etc etc.
When I finally see the answer/solution, I am a bit overwhelmed, take 3 days to finally understand it...
Not sure programming is for me. I can do simple problems, but not sure I can hack it in the FAANG companies.
Anyone else in the field in a TOP COMPANY that has had this mind-blank syndrome, and has found ways to overcome this?
I never give up, but am also realistic.
Thanks in advance!!
