Should I explain to my boss why I make similar mistakes because of my disability?

I have ADHD and a learning disability and even with medication, I struggle a lot. I have a remote job and able to mask it well. I always worry that my disability will cause me to lose my job again. I imagine that if I tell him that it is my disability, I will have some legal protection if he fires me for this reason… but all we have is “reasonable accommodations.” I don’t even know what reasonable accommodations for me would even be? I need patience from the employer if I make mistakes, but I can still do a job.
