Quoted from another thread:  (she lives off of disability for ADHD)

Why does someone get disability for ADHD?  Seriously?  I have heard of it for depression too.  

I thought disability was for an ACTUAL disability!  Stupid me for thinking!

You can get disability for depression, obesity, and many other things...why not ADHD.



I have a hangnail btw - maybe I should file.

I was going to look into that, but I keep forgetting to or something else comes up.....what were we talking about?

Having enough focus to file for disability should be the ironic proof that you are not so disabled that you can't work.

Google "Oppositional Defiance Disorder". Works better if you're a kid though.

ODD is no joke.

I've never been frightened of 11 year olds (outside of urban areas, where they traveled in packs).

Then I worked with some kids with ODD.

Holy shit.  They should down with a .22 behind the ear.

There is no such thing as ADHD or ADD.  It is call lack of discipline!  Adult ADD or ADHD is . Milking the system because you are too lazy or stupid to work. If parents would actually beat their kids asses when they fuck up there would be no such thing as ADD and ADHD.

My nephew supposed "has" ADHD. The funny thing is, When he is with me he is a great kid. When he gets home he turns into a little shit stain. His mom is to blame, She lets him do what he wants. When he visits me he doesnt get to do what he wants. The funny thing is, He really like hanging out with his uncle.

I had a guy once tell me had didnt have a job. He said he was on disabilityand got a check. I asked him what for and he said ADHD. After dealing with him for about the next 30 minutes I can tell you there is no reason this guy could not hold a job. He and whatever doctor wrote/signed on that crap should be keel hauled. He had two working arms and two working legs. I saw nothing that would keep him from flipping burgers somewhere or bussing tables etc at the least.

Nothing beating the fucking shit out of them––-repeatedly if necessary––-can't fix. I mean a real beating, not a "spanking". The kind of beating where they piss themselves out of fear for their lives. Won't have to do it too many times before Pavlov's bell rings.


ETA: The above is obviously after you've tried a "gentler" approach (the whole benefit of the doubt thing). Still getting wild, animal-like reactions from them? Ramp up to ass beating Level V.

You are very wrong. It does exist, but it is very overly misdiagnosed. You would be very pissed

off to be in my shoes and read what you wrote.



By the way I always work and have NEVER used it as an excuse.

Damn,

I screwed up my back Big time in the Navy to where I can't even sleep through
the night (makes it a bitch to concentrate), or lift very much weight (like 20 lbs).

Plus my hearing is all Screwed up and they only rate me at 20%

So I Barely qualify for shit, I'm doing something wrong.

I just laugh anymore.  I guess it is very easy for some people to ignore stimuli and focus, to the point where they assume that everybody's brains work that way.
