ADHD here. Speedcubing. It's a wonderful hobby for me. When I'm interested in it, I can learn some new things and time myself to see how I'm doing. When I'm not interested in it, I can solve it and it helps me to focus on watching TV. Even if I'm not solving it, it feels great just to twist in your hands.
Look up a good budget speedcube (not Rubik's branded) and invest yourself as much or as little as you fancy.
Just recently learned CFOP from someone (still really slow at it) and it's a great fidget. I use it during a few of my more droning zoom meetings and it makes me feel like I'm doing something semi productive while I fidget.
At some point soon you're going to solve it in front of someone whilst you're fidgeting, not even really focussing on it and you'll blow their freaking mind and you'll feel great.
Remember the GM of a TTRPG session I was playing was running a session and he noticed I'd been solving it when he'd assumed I'd just been fidgeting. He literally interrupted the session to exclaim 'Oh my God, you solved it!' and it took me a good few seconds to realize what he was talking about, as my attention was primarily on what he was saying and I was just idly solving.
Enjoy it when it comes :)
