Teaching is a calling. For the amount of work you do, and the amount of shit you have to deal with, it doesn't pay well. Good teachers do it because it's honestly what they want to do. Don't pick teaching if you are unsure what you want to do.
That said, you can do a world of good in hundreds of kids' lives if you can get past the challenges of ADHD and teach. You can serve as a wonderful example for kids on the spectrum, and help them as they try to navigate a world that isn't designed with them in mind. You can advocate for these kids and really help their parents understand how to relate to them.
