I actually think she may well have ADHD. Please hear me out.
I agree with all of your points, it’s not an excuse for racking up debts and destroying other people’s lives, for risking others lives through dangerous drink/drugged up driving, for ridiculing ex-partners through, dirty lies and revenge porn, for harassing people through false criminal accusations, child neglect/abuse or any other crime.
Those with ADHD know right from wrong. They may react in different ways but they’re still responsible for their opinions and actions. They are still responsible for themselves and learning to be the best they can be. As has been noted, there is nothing wrong with her ability to interact, understand and argue with things she doesn’t agree with.
The reason I think she may be ADHD is because up until recently, I had lots of experience of ADHD in males but not in females. As I’m learning about how it presents in females, I’m seeing signs in KP:
- chaotic
- late to everything
- lack of care of possessions, pets etc
- impulsive
- lack of hygiene
- need for instant solutions, gratification, fast food etc
- drug/drink addiction
- inability to stick to boundaries and rules
Undoubtedly it’s hugely exacerbated by other factors - drink, drugs, personality disorders, childhood trauma, to name a few.
So while all this may be true, it’s still not an excuse for treating people like
I’d be interested to hear other Krustie views
