It appears that while ADHD-diagnosed persons are not legally entitled to any special accomodation or privileges afforded under the federal Americans With Disabilities Act, an ADHD patient may qualify as being "disabled" and eligible to collect disability benefits under the Social Security Act.

Several professional organizations have recognized ADHD as a legitimate disability, including the American Psychiatric Association (APA), which includes ADHD in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) also acknowledges ADHD's impact on functioning and learning. Additionally, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) supports the understanding of ADHD as a neurodevelopmental disorder, reinforcing its recognition as a disability in various contexts.
In the UK: The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 Chapter 50 Section 1 Sub-section 1 states:"Subject to the provisions of Schedule 1, a person has a disability for the purposes of this Act if he has a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on his ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities."Source: http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts1995/ukpga_19950050_en_2#pt1-l1g1
Yes
No, ADHD is not considered a severe disability and thus does not qualify for additional child support amounts or government assistance.
Unless it's so bad that the person needs to apply for disability, it's not the governments business. ADHD is a certified disability though, and can make you eligible for workplace and school accomadations.
is anyone here
not really, but you are considered as having a learning difference. a lot of kids with ADHD however do have learning disabilities. still, even if you don't, you may still be eligible for special education.
