Agreed, treatment changed my ADHD life. And it's still nowhere near removing all of the symptoms

RFKjr is setting up a national autism registration and he’s already proposed to send neurodivergent people to farms. It’s pure Nazi eugenics.

It prevents you from jobs like airline pilots, the rationale being that placing someone potentially suicidal in control of a plane full of people isn't a good idea. The rationale doesn't really make total sense but you can see why they'd think that way.

It's illegal unless there's a bonafide occupational qualification that your disability prevents you from performing. Like you couldn't apply for a job as a furniture mover if you're a quadriplegic and cry discrimination when they don't select you. And the employer can ask things like "this job requires that you lift heavy objects of up to 600lbs with the assistance of another person and a back brace. Do you have any medical or other reason you could not perform these duties?".

Now if that weren't a real occupational qualification, that'd be discriminatory. Like if they said you had to be a man for that moving job - there's no reason you have to be a man, you just have to be able to move 600lb things.

Also tired of terms at restaurants like "Gluten Aware", "Gluten Conscious", etc. Then you find out everything is still going in the same fryer

At least they're aware of it.

Gluten appears to be pixie dust just thrown about in kitchens and mass food production facilities. It is shocking how much contains it or is near it.

I haven't heard of a gluten aware restaurant. But the term sounds irritating.

I really appreciate places like Subway and Taco Bell that just tell you up front they probably have cross-contamination on everything. Most places the workers don't even know what gluten is. When I explain, they think I should just say I don't want bread.

I'm not sure if I'm severe - I get a three-day migraine that is not unresponsive to medication if I eat gluten. 🤷 I was vitamin deficient and had damage to my intestines, but that's fixed now. I have a lot of other weird food stuff going on, but am still unclear if it is even related. The biggest complication is not being able to eat out easily. And I'm that person at parties that I brings their own food.

I guess I was thinking if I didn't have it, which means I could eat everything without having to ask a million questions or carefully researching products/ingredients.

If I wasn't diagnosed but still had it, I'd be very sick and malnourished.

I've got 10 hours in a little ultralight. Pre-diagnosis. I'm not looking to fly a jet fighter. I get more G's in a hang glider.
