Default Mocking real disorders

http://www.msuspokesman.com/media/st...uspokesman.com



Twenty year old Hannah Wineberg tells the story of her struggles with
Attention Deficit Hyper-Active Disorder; better known as ADHD. The room
is tense, as all eyes stare fiercely at this young woman who attends the
prestigious Smith College in Massachusetts. "When I hear claims that
students fake ADHD in order to get prescription from their doctors, I
get really frustrated. I had to sit through hours upon hours of testing
just to prove that I had a disability. It just makes a mockery of who I
am and what I struggle with on a daily basis."

Since you mentioned it, I agree.

There are those sick *******s who constantly post messages denying the
existence of disabilities or showing the downside as embodied by a
minuscule number of people who are either abusing the system or abusing
the treatments. There is NO doubt in my mind that their postings are
made for the purpose of mocking those who suffer.
