    A real catch-22. If you can complete it, rejected. If you don’t complete it, rejected.

          I remember taking a short test that the psychiatrist who diagnosed me used as a small part of her assessment. She kept asking every minute or two if I was done, which I would later come to realize was just part of the test. Probably fifteen minutes later, once I was done writing half a page of answers in the unusually tiny spaces between lines, I handed it back to her. She took one look at it, gave it back to me, and pointed at the instructions at the top of the page which basically said to just circle the right answer, something that wasn’t at all clear from context alone unless you actually read the instructions first. It wasn’t multiple choice but all I had to do was circle a word in each sentence which wouldn’t have taken me much more than about thirty seconds. That was apparently the real test, not the actual questions, and so I failed (or passed?) miserably.

    Hey Bob, another ADHD claim came in.

    Bob: send them the extra long questionnaire, they’ll never finish!

      I know Bob’s the go-to name but I’d much prefer if you didn’t use it for cunts.

    Also don’t forget your mandatory call to the doc each month for every refill
    and don’t forget to call a day early when it lands on a weekend
    and don’t forget to setup the mandatory appointment every 6 months
    and don’t forget to actually go to the appointment
    and don’t forget to schedule a drug test once every whatever-amount-of-time it is for your state
    and don’t forget to not eat or drink or take the medication the morning of the drug test

    Cause if you forget just 1 of those they’ll obviously have no choice but to deny you the medication you’ve been taking every day for 10 years. But you understand because punishing disabled people for mistakes/crimes of able-minded people (who don’t find those things challeging), is clearly the only option they have.
