"I'm lazy, there must be something I can blame for being such a useless lazy piece of shit. I must have ADD or ADHD!!"

Edit: I have ADD and I was referencing people who make up excuses as solutions to their problems. I'm not saying people with ADD are lazy.

I alyways have to explain my humour to reddit... Do people not understand jokes anymore or do people just get offended by everything.

I was referring to people who are lazy, blaming a disease they were never diagnosed with for the reason they are so lazy. I actually suffer from ADHD, and nothing pisses me off more than someone who diagnoses themselves with it because they procrastinate or something stupid.

See my other comment for my full explanation of my experiences.

I apologise and agree with you. People who self diagnose because they like smoking weed and watching SpongeBob all day in thier Mom's basement are the reason for most people's rotten attitude for this disorder. Both me and my youngest son are diagnosed and my wife had a hard time with it. She thought it was just my rotten habits rubbing off on him. She gets it now.
