Why are people so willing, indeed anxious, to be diagnosed with ADHD?
One of the symptoms is poor impulse control. Media personalities who have recently been accused of behaving inappropriately have used ADHD as an excuse.
Strange that the poor impulse control only involves groping fit young people and not 50+ balding blokes with a beer belly and bad breath.
It’s also been used by defense lawyers to mitigate their clients offences, most recently the Stockport cunt whose poor impulse control led him to purchase a weapon on line, then take a taxi to a dance party attended by small children, and… well you know the rest. Poor impulse control my fucking arse!
I don’t know about you lot, but I was very anxious as a young person NOT to stand out, today it seems to be a badge of honour.
This is quite interesting and well worth a read, but for busy people I’ll summarise the salient points.
If you are “diagnosed” with ADHD, you can get PIP , even if you’re working, have savings or getting other benefits. The standard rate is £73.10pw, but 43% of claimants get the enhanced rate of £110.40. The highest increase, at 28%, in the number of claimants since 2020 to 2024 is London.
