As someone with ADHD and OCD, I’m genuinely afraid of my life, and the lives of my friends that have it too.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”.

This is a manifesto against disability.

This is the language of eugenics.

You're not alone here Chris. I'm also afraid of what has been happening here, and I'm scared and upset of what this country has become over the past few weeks.

Without getting too personal I’ve been judge all my life since middle school because of my conditions. I’ve been told I have a problem and need to be taught differently than all my friends and take medication. And now that government says I’m a threat too? Like fuck, I didn’t ask for any of this…

Like, I’m sorry if I sound doom scroll-ish or full of anxiety now, but I can’t take anymore honestly. I feel like I somehow entered a negative universe since 2015 where it’s been nothing but bad things non stop. We’re never going back to that old world are we??…

I hear you. Like I know it’s always been bad in the grand scheme of things, but it’s been absolutely darker since that literally life changing election..

I feel you. I have ADHD and OCD too, alongside autism. This shit is really scary. The fact we're seen as a burden to the government is fucking insulting and shows the ableism in their regime. XC

Bad as it is, I’m gonna add “dire threat to the American way of life” to my list of self descriptors. I will claw any small bit of fun I can from the constant bad news.

Screw these monsters. They just see us as bodies to throw at the pointless wars they’re starting. Literally, they admit, we’re a “threat” because we aren’t able to join the military and die for them. They’re not even being subtle.
