Nice post. If I may add one coping skill that may work well for folks, especially those who strongly exhibit the "hyperactivity" in ADHD:
One alternative to stream-of-thought writing when getting started is stream-of-thought speaking into a recording device.
Basically if you can't sit down and write that paper? Try bouncing around the room as you feel you need to but put a voice recorder in your hand and speak the words you want to write in the paper. Then continue with the next editing/rewriting steps as needed.
This doesn't work for all types of writing. But when it does fit, what you thought would take hours in front of blank pages suddenly is a first draft done in a fraction of the time. Sure lots of editing is needed, but seeing a multi-page rough 1st draft you created (without touching a keyboard btw) is huge boost of a start.
Good luck
