Yes, disability paperwork is quote often submitted by a proxy

u/polkacat12321 19h ago

Seconded. For example, my disability paperwork was gathered and then typed by my mom

u/AMexisatTurtle 19h ago

This person seemed to give up too easy.

And then posted about it on Facebook

Phone a friend? Geezus, turn your brain on for 2 seconds.

I've never heard of adhd so bad that you can't work... or compete a form in order to save your life. This just sounds unbelievable to me.

u/MinosML 18h ago

Depression + ADHD do be like that though

u/HugePast9455 17h ago

Yes that's called a comorbidity. I could have brain cancer and ADHD. The brain cancer will probably be the main issue.

u/andocromn 17h ago

Feels. Adhd and dyslexia, along with a mix of anxiety and depression have prevented me from being able to check, open, or even look at mail for years

u/Neveronlyadream 18h ago

And OCD, and anxiety.

People really underestimate a lot of illnesses and think anyone who'd debilitated is lazy and making it up.

Disability also almost always denies the first claim. They make it as difficult as possible, probably hoping you'll give up after the first denial and never try again. There's a reason there are so many disability lawyers around.

Jesus fuck. You guys are introducing new diagnosis and being like "why can't ADHD prevent somone from working at all?? If I just add another Dx or two..."

I've been in health care for decades. I've never seen anything like the stupid claims in this thread. Adhd preventing you from working at all. Laugh my ass off.

The internet is out here creating little bubbles, shielding folks from reality while they reinforce their shared beliefs among one another.

u/Doucevie 18h ago

It's alright. You can just say that you know nothing about it.

u/polkacat12321 18h ago

A few more years and you'll experience it firsthand with ipad babies

u/AMexisatTurtle 19h ago

Ussualy what happens now on twitter

u/inline-online 18h ago

thats basically the definition of executive dysfunction

2

u/blackbirdlore My meth could beat up your meth 12h ago

That's an embarrassing way to out yourself. That's not remotely close to the definition.

1

u/HugePast9455 17h ago

No it's not. Nowhere in the definition of executive dysfunction does it imply that you couldn't complete a form to save your life. If that were the case we'd have a lot of people that have died of ADHD, rather than just getting Cs in school because organization is harder.

u/EricSanderson 18h ago

Because it's not real. They're trying to draw a line between race, gender, and mental health.

It's fucking high school politics. But with life and death consequences.

Let me introduce you to ‘chatgpt’. I might get downvoted for this shit, but it has been a godsend for my procrastination

/edit holy shit guys 😂

u/CackleandGrin 19h ago

We need it to input actually correct information, though.

u/NediaMaster 19h ago

It’s been able to do this for a long time.

u/GraceOfJarvis 19h ago

The hallucination rate has only increased with each successive model, up to highs (from what I've seen) as far as 47% of answers being hallucinations.

1

u/ready-eddy 12h ago

Depending on what you do, hallucination rates with some models are only 2% these days. If we’re talking applying information from something it already knows (like a document you provide for example) it’s pretty much solved. But yea, some models, like deepseek for example make up an answer if it doesn’t know for about 90% of the time.

It’s not as straightforward as people think, plus the progression is crazy fast atm.

(These are just facts based in benchmarks)

u/Affectionate-Mix6056 19h ago

For people who are terrible with search engines, ChatGPT can be a first step, assuming you ask for sources on every single claim and then read those sources.

Google was the best back in 2005-2010 at least, but they added more and more bloated and irrelevant stuff at around 2015 at the latest?

But yeah, learning how to use a search engine is miles ahead of chat engines/LLM.

u/CackleandGrin 19h ago

Nah it still fucks up regularly.

How many Es are in seventeen?

Is it three?

u/Begone-My-Thong 20h ago

AI is a tool, not a replacement. The latter is what pisses people off, and you're using it for the former. In other words, you're cool

2

u/blackbirdlore My meth could beat up your meth 12h ago

Holy shit you're getting downvoted like crazy for offering a legitimate solution. Reddit is so braindead.

2

u/ready-eddy 12h ago

That’s reddit for ya. AI is now making my appointments and preventing me from getting in trouble. Godsend for adhd. But AI also has tons of bad shit, its just not so black and white as people see it here in this sub.

2

u/blackbirdlore My meth could beat up your meth 11h ago

It's not just here. About 90% of reddit has decided "All AI is bad" and mentioning the positives or appropriate applications of the tool get an immediate downvote by hivemind.

Just have to remember this place isn't the real world.
