Ah yes. make an industry around a non existent ailment (99% of the cases) designed by manufacturers of ritalin. Most ADD/ADHD is piss poor parenting.

My thoughts on this are the same as my thoughts on any disability - if it is severe enough to prevent a person from working, then they should get benefits. But as with any other disability, they must undergo therapy or any other treatment not only to limit the effect of the disability, both on themselves and on others, but also to hopefully recover sufficiently to return to the workforce. No disability should be treated like a get-out-of-jail-free card by people who just don't want to put the effort into helping themselves get better.

I personaly think its bull$hit. Im told that im not going to get social security benifits when I am of age. These people are getting it at 18 years old because they dont want to go get a job! Lifes sweet....

I have weaver's syndrome I'm on the autistic spectrum and though the condition I have is mild i do not work I'm on benefits i live in the UK, i went to a mainstream school don't get me wrong I would love to be able to work I'm just not ready I was written off to be a nothing and a nobody on benefits for the rest of my days at the age of 19 but there are ways round it for instance one of my friends is a dog groomer and she is learning disabled she was on benefits for a long time but she managed to get off them and is self supporting ADD/ADHD is NOT NOT NOT bad or neglectful parenting it actually exists ADD sufferers like sufferers of Aspergers have problems communicating their feelings they tend to be very anxious and easily distracted in ADHD though the person is likely to be hyperactive, high energy and unable to concentrate on anything I want to add one last thing: just because someone has a learning or physical disability does NOT necessarily mean they cannot do anything they want to I mean look at Vince McMahon and Tom Jones both of them are dyslexic, as is Ozzy Osbourne

I required help in studying to get where I am with ADHD but a few people are so severly disabled they can't work. I agree it is probably a rare occurance. Plus being on disability benifits is not much money. Most would rather work and earn a bit more at least.

I believe that some people who can't afford medications should have disability benefits if their condition is really severe.
