Well, questions about the law are tough on an international forum. Laws vary by country, province or state. I have NO IDEA how courts deal with such things in Canada…or California for that matter. Too, I’m not a lawyer/solicitor. So what do I know? But your question begs another: is ADD/ADHD viewed as a “legal disability” in Canada or any American state? If it is, you might try to use it as a defense.

Even if you’re not allowed some sort of statutory protection, you might walk in armed with scholarly research that addresses your particular issue. Ya never know—some judge might give you a break. Weird things happen in courtrooms.
