Work / job suggestions for a person who has to feed a family, house owner with typical expenses, educated in computer science. Especially interested in suggestions that don't require to "start over from scratch" (go back to school) or changes that can be done gradually.

I would optimize less for a magic ADHD-compatible title and more for a job shape that preserves income while reducing failure modes:
clear external cadence
visible short-loop deliverables
enough novelty to stay engaged
not too much solo greenfield ambiguity
no big income cliff while testing the move
A few CS-adjacent directions that can be tried gradually:
Internal tools / automation inside a boring business: make reporting, imports, forms, and recurring workflow pain disappear. Real software skill, grateful internal customers, clearer value loop.
Analytics engineering / BI: SQL, dashboards, data cleanup, recurring ops questions. Less blank-page product work, more concrete outputs and deadlines.
QA automation / release engineering / test infrastructure: useful if bug hunting, checklists, and making flaky systems less flaky feel satisfying. I would avoid manual-only QA unless it is explicitly a bridge.
Technical support escalation / solutions engineering for a developer tool or B2B SaaS: lots of variety and concrete problems, but only if people contact is energizing and the team controls interruption load.
Gradual path: keep the income base, own one adjacent responsibility for 30 days, track energy after work rather than just competence during work, then turn the best 2-3 fixes into a tiny portfolio. I would be cautious about founder/freelancer as the first move; sales/admin uncertainty can eat the benefit.

Plenty of successful teachers and lecturers require fairly basic websites, as to have a place to upload lectur videos, assignments etc.
This is for when they are giving out private courses outside of other educational entities. As they do not need the larger teams required by schools & universities, they often hire freelancers for initial set-up, plus the maintenance as it can work out to end up being cheaper.
Ofcourse, the scale of the website will reflect the popularity of a specific lecturer, changing what you can charge.
Also for the ADHD part different lecturers require different features, depending on style & course content.
