This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Functionally? No. Legally? Yes.

When I'm applying for jobs, I do check the box that says disabled, because according to the US gov't, developmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder are considered disabilities. (Probably ADHD also, but that evaluation isn't complete yet.) OTOH, it's unlikely to help if i am subjected to some kind of workplace discipline that's the direct result of being on the autism spectrum, or if I fuck something up because i have severe ADHD. The kind of accommodations that they would need to make are... Pretty limited, TBH.
