I think you may not be appreciating your ADHD hyper focus (speaking from experience). It may be that sysadmin type work was interesting to you in a way that allowed you to use that to your advantage. Other people, however, may very well not have that same interest. Maybe what gets them hyper-focused is art or literature or who knows what. Not to say of course it is not possible but you may be smarter than you think.
