[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I shoplift a lot. I got caught once and was able to get it off my record. Since then I do it a lot less. For me it’s an impulse control thing. I have ADHD. I’m not proud of it but it’s hard to stop, it’s like a compulsion. [/quote] Stop using ADHD as an excuse for your stealing. [/quote] Research shows 55% of the incarcerated have ADHD. It’s a developmental disorder that can come from genetics, brain trauma or severe emotional trauma (eg sexual or domestic abuse). It is an actual disorder that effects dopamine and epinephrine levels, making it extremely different to mange impulse control. Would you tell a deaf person to listen harder? A blind person to open their eyes? This is EXACTLY the same thing. That’s why you can get an IEP for ADHD and even, gasp!, Social Security benefits! [/quote]
