First of all, who do you need to explain it to? Your doctor? Certainly. Your family? Most likely. Everyone else is on a need to know basis. You shouldn’t have to explain it to your employer unless it is getting in the way of you performing your duties and you need to ask for some accommodations – such as extra time or assistance with those things you don’t do well. Some have managed to ask for and get accommodations without revealing their ADHD. Other times, it is necessary so you can gain assistance through the ADA (assuming you’re in America). It really depends on your situation.
