Can you be fired for having ADHD if they knew you had it when you started work?

Demonstrate that with reasonable changes to accommodate the disability the employee still lacked capability. "Reasonable" is the key word here. You can find plenty of tribunal cases to back it up and also to show that if an employers makes a mess of it or doesn't really try then they will lose.

You don't fire them you just remove all the Ramps. :D


4T5 being Fully inclusive with his humour & even involving the Disabled. :p
 
They probably won't fire you for the disability. Next time you make any mistakes he will save them all up and then try get rid of you on the basis of anything he can. They would never get rid of you on the grounds of a disability they will make out as if its got nothing to do with it. Sounds like you have a clash of personalities with the new boss. I do agree some what that not managing yourself can not realy be explained by adhd, but telling someone to grow up seems harsh, depends on the context realy.

Id recommend just trying to stay out of his way and not deal with him whenever you can. I had a similar issue with a guy i worked with in the past and he ended up trying to keep his distance from me and whenever i had a got at him for x and y. He would tell me to drop it or stop bullying him.

There is some controversy over it's diagnosis though as the younger you are in your year group the more likely you are to have it.

I was the youngest in my year group and apart from those odd times where I black out and wake up covered in blood and feces I'm a completely normal well balanced individual.
 
Thanks for all the advice guys.

Well if by fictional you mean scientifically recognized mental disability then sure why not.

Check your contract it should still state the procedure to raise a grievance, we're only a small company without any dedicated HR dept but the procedures are all set out in our contracts/employee handbook type thing.

If you or someone you know has a child that has been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), chances are the child is actually just fine. At least this is what the “father” of ADHD, Leon Eisenberg, would presumably say if he were still alive.



On his death bed, this psychiatrist pioneer admitted that ADHD is essentially a “fictitious disease,” which means that millions of young children today are being needlessly prescribed severe mind-altering drugs that will set them up for a life of drug addiction and failure.



As explained by The Sons of Liberty host Bradlee Dean, who also writes for The D.C. Clothesline, ADHD was merely a theory developed by Eisenberg. It was never actually proven to exist as a verifiable disease, despite the fact that Eisenberg and many others profited handsomely from its widespread diagnosis.

And modern psychiatry continues to profit as well, helping also to fill the coffers of the pharmaceutical industry by getting children addicted early to dangerous psychostimulant drugs like Ritalin (methylphenidate) and Adderall (amphetamine, dextroamphetamine mixed salts).



“ADHD is fraud intended to justify starting children on a life of drug addiction,” said Dr. Edward C. Hamlyn, a founding member of the Royal College of General Practitioners, back in 1998 about the phony condition. Adding to this sentiment, psychiatrists Peter Breggin and Sami Timimi, both of whom oppose pathologizing the symptoms of ADHD, say that ADHD is more of a social construct than it is an objective “disorder.”

Start logging everything down in a personal notebook. All evidence for if he does sack you for the tribunal.
 
Record it and SUE SUE SUE. I might even go as far as to say he touched me on my special place because he was such a tit. People like that deserve it. And then when you win slap the living daylights out of him. That will teach him.
