Epic dredge for a first post.

Was disappointed it took so long to realise it was a necrod thread.
Then read outcome
Left satisfied!
People like that eventually get their comeuppance.
I don't ever want to manage!

Oh dear.AFAIK diagnosis is a bit dubious and it appeals to middle class parents seeking special labels.
Little Johnny doesn't just struggle at reading and writing he's 'dyslexic'... he doesn't misbehave in class he's got 'ADHD' etc...
Oh dear.
You can't clump those two together mate. One you can grow out of, the other nope.
I don't think if you can be fired about that, but employers are sometime they are getting out of hand
^This. Also keep a diary of evidence of exactly what he says and does and whether there are any witnesses.
I was just thinking (I know, a first, right?), how do we know the OP wasn't being childish and silly?Just because you have a disability doesn't mean you can't be fired from a job, if your performance is affected you can quite rightly be dismissed regardless of whether your employer knows about your condition or not.

ADHD doesn't actually cause bad behaviour, it causes hyperactivity and thus excess energy which in badly behaved children will usually see it channelled into enhancing the bad behaviour, but generally if you see/hear a parent claiming their child behaves badly due to ADHD they're just trying to excuse their parenting or lack thereof (NB: it does make their job a lot harder).Surely you can't say "I've got ADHD" and subsequently expect any level of bad behaviour to be tolerated.
