No, (I get why you asked that, I should have worded my comment differently) it’s just funny to me this idea of fairness is to exclude those who haven’t yet been afforded the thing that would put them on more even footing with neurotypical individuals. I did read the article, I just am surprised that that’s how someone would say well let’s not help anyone that we’re not already helping, because fair’s fair. I also noticed it only seems to include 3 medications, so there are other options. I just kind of chuckled at the idea of no new wheelchairs angry face emoji

From the article: Henry Shelford, the CEO and a co-founder of ADHD UK, said: “ADHD is a disability and the sudden removal of medication is akin to removing a wheelchair from a disabled person that needs it.”

Ok, but you’re still refusing to let another disabled person have a wheelchair in the first place so…

This is basically the plot to The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline, minus the volunteering portion

Veggies in the door, condiments in bottom drawer, cheese drawer above that (CHEESE ONLY), good luck to everything else it’s going on a shelf. The freezer is a got damn mess tho.

I read that “condiments in a drawer, veggies in the door” can help you remember you have vegetables if you have trouble with object permanence (adhd) and no one forgets they have ketchup. I, personally, never forget I have cheese, hence the drawer full of it

Oh my gosh, similar to my story and you’re exactly right. Yeah I could totally be happier running around the forest all day but that’s not feasible when I’ve got kids getting off the school bus who need encouragement to do the things and who need to be fed more than the handful of berries that are likely smashed in my pockets because I was more interested in collecting several cool rocks. Now the kids are crying because it’s stone soup again for dinner. It’s just a damn mess.

Dang, that’s a long wait time. I hope you get some answers soon.

Completely agree, and I’ve paid this game for the upgraded storage and many piggy bank cracks over the last couple of years because I play often and appreciate them keeping the game running and updating stuff. I am not, however, paying a monthly fee to use it
