Did everyone see this article by Samantha Maiden? https://www.news.com.au/national/politics/liberal-mp-andrew-laming-says-shock-medical-diagnosis-explains-behaviour-that-left-his-career-in-tatters/news-story/6bca4a47003a60c2de8e6ebac396d2eb Andrew Laming has had himself diagnosed with ADHD and is telling everyone that’s the reason he’s stalked women in parks, photographed other women bending over at work, abused and harrassed people on social media and, according to the article, neglected his kids so he could post thousands of times on various facebook groups. Apparently, his ADHD didn’t prevent him from becoming a doctor or a member of parliament, it just made him a twat. I’m so angry about this. My boys have ADHD and they are not dickheads. They know their behaviour towards other people matters. This article has floored me today.

My husband and both my daughters have ADHD (as did my FIL). None of them have ever gotten about harassing women and upskirting anybody. It makes DH shite at admin and paying bills, it’s never turned him into a fucking sex pest. I have nothing but contempt for absolute wankers who piggyback onto an already-stigmatised and misunderstood condition in order to try and make feeble excuses for behaviour that have nothing to do with it. And Andrew? ADHD gives you impulse control issues. If the impulse to harass women exists in you in the first place, you’re still a dickhead.

What a disgrace. ADHD my arse. He’s just a prick. I think it more likely he got a doctor mate to do this ( as he supposedly is one) . I hope nobody ever actually goes to him for treatment

Reminds me of the Terry Martin case (though I still don’t understand why Terry Martin’s medication let all the other men off who’d been paying for an exploited 12 year old).

No, Andrew Laming. ADHD is not the reason you're a dickhead.
