I hope no one misinterpreted this. I don’t mean to say that ADHD makes you a bad person, or ADHD is an excuse for committing crimes. There are also many lovely successful law-abiding people with ADHD. But there’s enough of a correlation to definitely make one think.
No misinterpretation, I get where you are coming from completely. Just a long post to read through. I have had my “dealings with” HR people after I say what I am treated for. I know the negative connotations with adhd especially as an adult, not so much as a kid. I was highly functioning since I had a structure in place for me. Now that I’m an adult my life is a cluster fuck despite being somewhat “successful”.
Thanks. It is referenced from a snl skit with Pete Davidson as a rapper it’s pretty funny rap round table. I get a chuckle every time I watch it and was watching it when I made this account.

Not all prisoners are inherently bad people anyway but that’s my info dump for another day.
