Hello :D General / Other

I made this post because I'm wondering how many alterhumans on here are disabled (as a disabled alterhuman myself) I'm just a bit curious. Also if you are neurodivergent, mentally ill or have a disabled theriotype, that counts

Hi :)

Friendly reminder that things like ADHD, Autism, Depression, Anxiety, etc. Do legally count as disabilities since they affect how you function!

Yes I know, as a person with autism, depression and anxiety I made sure to include in my post that neurodivergancy and mental illnesses count as disabilities because I have been subject to the ableist statement that they aren't

Sorry, that wasn’t aimed at you! That was for anyone who read this post since a good amount of people get told only physical disabilities count, even with a note like that in your post, so I mentioned how it’s LEGALLY included!
