@xandra The US really needs some serious debugging. Not that being neurodivergent in Europe or NZ has been terribly easy for me, but I know I would be way worse off in the US. Especially with my added chronic illness issues.

It's confusing as hell that they want everyone to work but won't facilitate any differences to make sure everyone CAN work, and then take away access to freakin' healthcare if you burn out from trying to fit the mold. ☹️

@moxiemoshpit it is really confusing! especially since we have skills inherently that are desirable (finding patterns, hyperfocus, etc). it's sooo frustrating and mind-numbing to think about how disjointed the US is about being healthy = being more productive. even the most conservative, pro-capitalist person should be able to see that.
