LSA –
Just remember some people are douchebags. I went to a magistrate once to contest a parking ticket, and the guy treated me extremely disrespectfully, and then expressed disbelief when I told him I’m a graphic artist – “YOU’RE a graphic designer???” He was an ass. People in the court system are almost always complete jerks. Goes with the territory. Every time I’ve been called to jury duty the attorneys have been total douchebags to me. Think about the kind of personality who wants to spend their lives judging the behavior of others, i.e. Judges – and the amount of ego they must have, the incredible self-righteousness they must have, to even be willing to make those kinds of decisions.
Sorry for that mini-rant, but all I’m trying to say is: Don’t internalize it. You are not “bad.” The whole thing about people with ADHD being “immature” offends me.
Seriously. Look at the world. As if it were run by such geniuses. As if the so-called “normal” people were in any way kinder, more generous, more loving, more insightful, or more capable of peace or healing.
Since my ADHD diagnosis a few years back, I have come to deeply appreciate the term “differently-abled.”
I hope you can get a professional, like a doctor or some other expert type of person, to help with your defense. I bet CHADD has information about ADHD and dealing with the courts, which you might want to look into.
