Fair play fair play. However, in my defence, I just don't have the concentration levels to physically read a book. I listen when I'm doing something else, like working, commuting, driving, gardening. To physically sit there and read in silence, god I haven't enjoyed that since I was about 12-13 years old. Audio books are a god send to me!cantersaddick said:

About 2 hours ago, I thought to myself 'that' really bloody annoys me and I must post that on the thread when I log on later.
2 hours later, I can't remember what 'that' bloody is for the life of me. Even more annoying!

Yeh why give a knighthood to an ex-England captain, one of the most capped players ever, a global ambassador for the sport, icon, and a charity fund raiser for the last 20 years

People on social media diagnosing themselves with adult ADHD and posting ‘hilarious’ examples of their behaviour. No, there’s nothing wrong with you.2

It’s the misunderstanding that annoys me. It makes a serious mental health disorder into a joke. I worked as a psychologist before I went mad myself and lectured on mental health. I guess it’s difficult to understand what a disorder is like unless you’ve had it but ‘having an off day’ isn’t depression and bipolar isn’t going up and down a bit. Most people run if you say psychosis yet they don’t all carry axes.Billy_Mix said:

fanboys of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi that feel the need to constantly compare or slag the other off every time one of them is mentioned somewhere. It’s f*cking weird.5

It does seem to be fashionable and cool to get the diagnosis now.Arsenetatters said:People on social media diagnosing themselves with adult ADHD and posting ‘hilarious’ examples of their behaviour. No, there’s nothing wrong with you.
The BBC has identified 15 local areas that have closed waiting lists and another 31 that have introduced tighter criteria, making it more difficult to access support.

Only to realise I've connected it to the wrong charger, which is connected to the mains, rather than the PC!!

I'll agree that there is a bit of a problem with widespread tiktok self diagnosis. But there is a bit of a historic issue particularly in women aged 25+ where the diagnosis criteria when they were children had what are now accepted as glaring mistakes that excluded them. My wife has recently managed to get a diagnosis for ADHD. She was not considered for assessment whilst at school because she was academically gifted. However we now know that's not a good reason to exclude someone. This particularly affected girls as ADHD presents differently in them.Raith_C_Chattonell said:

The diagnosis has helped her in numerous ways, understanding some of the things she has struggled with her whole life and why she has struggled with them. Its enabled her to get therapy targeted at the issues and drugs to help (none of it paid for by the NHS or the state in any way before anyone makes that dig - despite her being in the second most severe category). Its made a massive difference to her life.
Whilst I started by saying there is an issue with Tiktok self diagnosis but I will say that social media did help her first realise she had that issue.
There are a large number of people in her position, for ADHD and autism, particularly women. We've has a few friends get a diagnosis too. Raising awareness of the issue isn't a bad thing. But people should speak to a doctor, trouble is the 2 year wait for a diagnosis.

You cannot get motability for ADHD alone. If you are receiving PIP and have other conditions then ADHD can be considered as a contributory factor for the higher mobility component if it severely affects your ability to get around.8 -
A couple of the young lads who worked with me on site were claiming PIP for ADHD+ (one also had depression). They generally managed their day-to-day work fine, apart from the usual age-related slip-ups — turning up late, blowing the odd Monday out, and so on.
One of them claimed he saved up his monthly PIP payments to get his tattoos done. 🤷♂️1 -

Facts mate - I've sat in the same living room in digs with him when he’s spoken to his mum about emails he’s received regarding his payments. This was followed by a discussion about how you apply for it, and how the other lad - who was also present and also receives PIP - joined in. They both seemed pretty knowledgeable about it all, which, for two blokes who barely look up from their phones, was quite unusual. Unless, of course, they both got together to research PIP in order to concoct a cunning story to tell me and one other?cantersaddick said:

Just because you don’t like it mate, doesn’t mean it ain’t true.

I'm not arguing they're getting PIP but I expect it's very likely they aren't telling you the full story in terms of the conditions and contributory factors they have that lead to that decision.Gribbo said:

Its a couple years out of date but I was somewhat of an expert in PIP, in fact through my job I was in court for more than one hearing of a judicial review into various detailed parts of the acceptance criteria.
And to go back to the original point they won't be getting motability for just ADHD.0 -

Play the ball not the man. Feel free to dispute the point I'm making on acceptance criteria if you know better. As usual you can't and you just go for personal digs. Really really odd behaviour from a supposed adult.
There are 2 things I have claimed to be an expert in and that's due to multiple qualifications up to postgraduate level and being fully immersed in them for multiple years of my career.
