Has nobody caught the real point of the article that there is a lot of disability (not just handicapped parking permit) FRAUD going on today?

How, miraculously, because people can’t find jobs they decide they can’t work at all? How they go straight from unemployment to disability? How they prefer a government check to work because it’s easier and often more lucrative?

People work with back pain, depression, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, blind, deaf, etc...etc....etc... ALL THE TIME! If they have the character to do so.

Disability has it’s place but it’s generally become a huge scam and racket. And this article doesn’t even mention SSI payments to “disabled” children of around $700/month for maladies such as ADHD. Parents with multiple “disabled” children live off the kids’ cash. Add food stamps, Section 8, Medicaid, Obama Fones, etc... it’s much preferable to flipping burgers or cleaning toilets. Which is why we have to get illegals to “do the jobs American’s won’t do”

It's sad but ADD ADHD likely has about a 95% misdiagnoses rate. There is likely a real problem that while it can't be cured it can be treated and classroom adaptions made. Net cost? Usually $0 except for diagnoses and possible treatment of an underlying physical issue such as sinus allergies or ear infections doing the damage.

Look up Central Auditory Processing Disorders. It can be both auditory and Optic. The thing is there is no Pharmaceutical money to be made as Ritalin usually will not help but rather can make it worse nor will a CAPD diagnoses mean special pay for schools or parents. An Audiologist should be among the first steps taken & Shrink the last resort for suspected ADD ADHD.
