Judge blames bad judgement on ADD | ADHD Information

i hadn't thought about it that way...

i think if that judge really has ad/hd, then he would be more understanding of people being late...

 

I haven't heard about this but I'd love to read the story.  Do you happen to have the link?

wouldn't someone with ADD be understanding about people being late? I agree with Sonya. Actually, I wonder if that judge even has AD/HD. It seems that real AD/HDers are always trying to improve themselves instead of just saying, "Oops, I have AD/HD." I could see a mentally ill person doing something like randomly throwing people in jail. Either the judge is a complete AD/HD faker who wants to use something as a crutch or it's possible that he has a mental illness and was misdiagnosed as AD/HD.

scarygreengiant38469.8448611111Oh yeah. Duh!  Did anyone here about this on the news? My friend said she saw a news clip today that a judge threw some people in jail for simply showing up late to his court. Now I guess the people are sueing him and he is blaming it on his newly diagnosed ADD. Weird! Jen No but I doubt they will get anywhere.

ok, if you are prone to making such rash impulsive decisions, maybe you don't need to be a judge, making these decisions that are affecting other people's lives...you know?

just my little humble opinion....

Now, in my opinion, if anyone is considered to be using ADD as a crutch, then it would be that judge...you can't just throw people in jail willy-nilly, and say, oh, i'm sorry I did that, I have ADD....

(I know i'm gonna get preached at for that statement....)

  Did I misread that It was the judge with ADD?
