jbwestover Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 I'm looking for any previous or current litigation where a Plaintiff diagnosed with ADD/ADHD has filed a complaint of disability discrimination. Specifically, I'm interested in how the courts consider ADD/ADHD as a disability - where there has been recognition that the disorder can be an impairment to a major life function. I have filed such a discrimination complaint in the US District Court in Denver, Colorado. Any sharing of information would be appreciated. John W. Link to comment
t94xr1607306444 Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 Im personally ADHD myself. Its primarily a learning disability in its case. What interests me, is the fact that someone would discriminate against it. Its a mental disorder, which comes at random, something like MS, but does not affect someones ability to work. It just affects someones job of learning the job itself. I wouldn't be surprised if the judge laughed in the face of the person you were sueing and saying that he was effectively a dickhead... I live in New Zealand, but I've found people have no discrimination about ADD/ADHD. But if someone was trying to use it against someone to fire them, i would have to wonder why they didnt actually do a 5second search and gather some information about it. so mate, i think you might aswell dump an entire folder on info about ADD/ADHD and tell him, why he should give you a formal written apology, to well save him the embarrasement of being laughed at by the judge who maybe himself might have an ADD/ADHD kid.
