on #disability

 It is the case - that my previous employer (for example) - was nothing less than extremely satisfied, and relied on my expertise heavily ... to deliver the products and value needed to maintain a measure of success and value.

The problem is not the fact that I do excellent work, and have a vast and capable ability as a programmer... 

The only actual problem is ... that everyone; almost exclusively people that are not programmers and do not know me ... have decided that I am too #crazy to work, regardless of empirical evidence.

The fact is; my mental health is not such that I can continue to work - even though, by all measures, my work is far and above the level required of most programmers.

These observational truths are held by two separate groups of professionals - and I respect the opinions of both, as I do not have the option to deny such realities.

As I've stated - either a literal mountain of doctors need to be sued for how I've been treated and I'm not disabled, only have my life ruined by doctors ... or I am in fact too #disabled to work.

These decisions are not mine to make - I am merely an actor on the stage - and it is society that confines me, or calls me the various names that make it feel more comfortable with my behavior.

Words, as a programmer is well aware, carries great meaning; such as the words health and error.
