I would avoid talking about your disorder if I were you; you may feel like it explains your actions, but no-one else gives a shit. I would just say you felt like the role was falsely advertised to you, and be prepared to explain the specifics, people will want to know how big a difference there was that made you leave, especially considering the fact that some amount of drift is expected.
Most importantly though, I would ask if you've tried to talk to your management about the discrepancy and your dissatisfaction. If you haven't, this seems like a problem to me. No-one wants to work with someone whose first instinct to be to walk away rather than try and work things out.
Beyond anything else, I feel like the lesson here is to make sure that you actually want the job you are accepting. Be very specific in what you expect; if you figure out there is a discrepancy you can walk away before you both get burned.
Personally, I've started having bringing up what I want much earlier in the interview process, rather than getting to the end of the whole process to find there is a mismatch between what I want and the company wants so that we don't waste each others' time.
