how does you thinking some people fake disabilities and that you have a substance problem have anything to do with my comment on people framing accommodations as an excuse to slack off?

Are you suggesting that you think your diagnosis is invalid and that should be taken as a data point in our discussion?

I think the answer is for you to stop taking drugs, not that there aren't people woth ADHD who need accommodations to do their job well.

It's also not anyone else's job to diagnose you but your doctor.

If they cant or wont get ADA accommodations officially through HR, I don’t care what their doctor says (I don’t have access to their real medical records for obvious privacy reasons). They might as well have a diagnosis from a food truck chef.

It’s not my place to tell anyone whether they actually have a disability, especially one as pernicious as ADHD, but it’s also not anyone’s job to accommodate slackers who doesn’t follow the proper ADA process.

Next time someone uses their ADHD as an excuse to slack off, go talk to HR about what accommodations they requested and whether or not they’re reasonable. Forcing coworkers to pick up the slack for an existing assignment isn’t reasonable - ADHD accommodations are taken care of at the management and planning levels, not during standups. Stuff like flexible work schedules and office environments that minimize distractions are reasonable, but it’s not a get out of jail free card for one’s duties.

who are you talking about and how does that pertain to this discussion? The fact that someone could lie or not do procedure properly is not relevant to the people who do. It's kind of insulting to bring that up in a good faith discussion to imply that we're all fakers. If you'd like to reply to anything I said instead of calling people names I'd be happy to discuss.
