You have already explained why you "liked" the post Is attention seeking behavior an ADHD characteristic?Attention-seeking is often associated with ADHD, although often misunderstood. ADHD characteristics such as impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity can lead to behaviors that are frequently misinterpreted as attention-seeking.www.verywellmind.com/attention-seeking-behavior-causes-traits-treatment-5213790I doubt Bambie Thug or any other of the ridiculous Song Contest Contestants will become members of the Oatcake or its readership You have in the past been critical of others who made negative comments of persons who have had the misfortune of dying or found themselves in an unfortunate position, from memory I believe you found it disrespectful.Those too were never likely to become aware of those negative comments. A tad hypocritical don't you think Are the circumstances different because Bambie has been diagnosed with a particular disorder? I think perhaps you’re going in a bit deep on this (probably because it’s me). Perhaps you should show the same level of intensity and time in discussing it with the person who made the OP. In relation to ADHD, I actually have been diagnosed with it myself (high functioning) and dyslexia too which I’m pretty sure you remember from when I pulled you up for making a joke about it previously (not me having it but about dyslexia) so it may account for some of my posts and there lack of structure / inconsistencies. As well as being diagnosed with ADHD late on in life I also work with youngsters who have ADHD and autism so am aware of some of the behavioural traits from those who are both low and high functioning. It’s an incredibly complex and individual disorder that can impact on people in different ways both good and bad. The majority of youngsters that I work with cope with it really well and rarely want to use it as an excuse when they mess up. The majority of them are fantastic characters who have great coping mechanisms whether it’s the use of a fidget spinner, timeout card or a short rant. I guess like most people they shouldn’t be pigeon holed or scapegoated to prove points or fight arguments out of convenience. That’s certainly not what they want. They just want to be accepted for who they are (the majority of them are once people get them). To be fair I didn’t dig into this persons background I just saw the video and her effing and jeffing and judged from the words used and certainly not because they have ADHD. The “like” was purely about her behaviour nothing else. For what it’s worth I know i’m a hycpocrite and am more than happy to admit that but let’s face it none of us are perfect so you’re wasting your time trying to prove something that I already know and that I’m a bad man Like me you’re not perfect either. I’m sure you’re incredibly intelligent from the many lengthy posts you put up but in my opinion you have zero self awareness. You can put yourself across as being some sort of moral freedom fighter but you’ve let the mask slip a few times in the past yourself with the skits around dyslexia and the poor chap that lost his life when he was crushed by the toilet in London. So yes none of us are perfect Fair play for your very honest and thought provoking post. I accept I should have directed my reply to the poster not the liker. The curse of a frequent poster is you become familiar with their tastes and dislikes There have been numerous threads where negativity is shown towards a person who has chosen a different lifestyle or dress sense is denigrated and ridiculed, not for what they are saying but because of the person who is saying it. I don't understand unless someone has a legitimate reason why that would bother anyone particularly I had already explained that the source of the Tweets had a particular agenda You made a post on London thread earlier, rightly questioning the behaviour of people sharing inappropriate material on social media, I agree with you. I think this original tweet from James Dreyfus was inappropriate in his interpretation which was deliberate and i explained my reasons why. Perhaps I'm wrong, I'm not perfect 😇 In any case I apologise if I have offended you

So yes none of us are perfect To be fair Cobs, you liking an incredibly short and thus very specific post that says ... We get the all too common victimhood, tears, and battle against adversity melodrama. This five minute, already forgotten, talentless irrelevance will be checking in with PTSD or something. is pretty hard to square up with what you said here ...
I also work with youngsters who have ADHD and autism so am aware of some of the behavioural traits from those who are both low and high functioning. It’s an incredibly complex and individual disorder that can impact on people in different ways both good and bad. The majority of youngsters that I work with cope with it really well and rarely want to use it as an excuse when they mess up. You said you liked the post because (specifically) of her behaviour but isn't recognising traits in people with ADHD behaviour, something to be initially sympathetic of (well at least the possibility of) in the first instance? If it's okay to ask, what is your role in your profession?
In relation to ADHD I’m not a specialist or an expert but have regular experience of working with young people who have a diagnosis. That’s as far as I’ll go as it’s my private business. What I would say and have said earlier in my previous post is that yes it can be an explanation for bad behaviour but should never be used as an excuse to justify it and it certainly won’t if someone does something really bad, unless you think it should. For what it’s worth I am sympathetic with people who have ADHD and have helped plenty over the years (you’ll have to take my word for that) but it’s actually incredibly difficult to immediately identify someone as having that diagnosis from one very short video. You’d usually have to spend at least half an hour with someone to be certain. There’s many people who don’t have ADHD that behave like the person in the video. As is often the case on this board it’s the usual suspects picking up a “like” post or micro analysing a post and trying to make it into a personal argument because they don’t agree with someone’s view (and yes I’ve bit in this case). Maybe you like Wannabe should have the same discussion with the initial poster rather than someone who simply “liked” it. His wording is far more specific and to the point whereas as has been said before “liking” a post rarely means that you “like” it word but that you might simply agree with parts of it or even bits of it. I’ve said my bit now so I’m afraid that’ll be it as I’ve got a busy day and don’t want to go down some long rabbit hole.
