Would requesting ADA accommodation have any effect on slowing a PIP?

I'm applying for other jobs but need 2-3 weeks extra time at the current one. Current job put me on a 10 day PIP for slowness. On Weds boss called me at 5:05pm. I said I couldn't speak, he said it was time sensitive and immediately put me on a 10 day PIP ending next Friday. Appears to me to be a greased chute to a Friday firing with legal protection. Today is my first check in. I plan to show boss how I've been trying to improve, and also mention my ADHD. I had mentioned it to him before but said I would try to work through it without making a fuss. I plan to tell him today that was a mistake and now I will go to HR (I'll say this in soft, non-combative terms). Do you guys think this will help me or just hurt even more?…

PS: PIP has already been signed by both parties
