Ok - just warning anyone who's standing up or holding something hot to sit down / put down... I was looking up about the Equalities Act 2010 a few days ago and how they define a disability.... It explains different aspects and then uses examples to help understand.... So most logical things are covered but there is a list of exclusions - not very many though I can't remember them all but alcoholism is not classed as a disability - so it gives an example that someone can be treated differently if they're an alcoholic and whatever thing it's about is because of their alcoholism, but they could also have another disability (eg long term depression) and the effects of this can't be used to treat them differently. Ok, so here's the bit.... Then it talks about exhibitionism as being another exclusion And the example it uses is 'if a boy with adhd exposes himself, then the exhibitionism isn't a disability but his adhd is' I was outraged and indignant that adhd was used as the example for this.... So I googled it.... And it seems that a huge percentage of exhibitionists have adhd Gets worse - don't pick the hot drink up yet... So I looked up paraphilias in general....and again - massive percentage have adhd (read several things - anywhere between 40 - 80 %) Have deliberately posted this in the bit where you have to be registered - really don't need any more negatives used against us

It could be that the percentage of the population that are paraphilias, and have ADHD, cannot resist the impulse to act on their desires.
The people without ADHD can resist it, and live their lives knowing who/what they are, but have enough impulse control, and forward thinking, to adhere to what society calls normality.

Everyone needs to remember that correlation does not equal causation. There's a high percentage of people in prison who have ADHD as well, it doesn't follow that all ADHD sufferers are going to end up in prison. (Some of us are clever enough not to get caught....twice )

ADDers are generally more highly sexed so it follows that we're probably a higher proportion of pervs. That's statistics, that is.
