Hey dude the reason I came out of the closet so to speak is partially because of my Social Security Disability Impairment Code #2940 a combination of Tourettes and Aspergers syndrome and also sub-classification code of 132.34 Intermittent Explosive Disorder plus a few minor classifications that are not relevant to my response to you. Wordy yes, factual also.
The last time I spoke to my case manager at the Tampa FL field office for the EEOC, Patricia King, I asked her the law pertaining to telling people what my disability is and her adamant but basic response was when applying for any job you do not need or have to tell anyone what your disability is. I accepted her response however I countered with a different question to her which in my case is apropos or more germain to this situation since my disability is the use of extremely vulgar, obscene, or grotesque language and it per the IED comes out when I am pressured, intermittently.
Can I get fired from any job as I have been fired from over eighty jobs in my lifetime for the use of the types of language that comes out from my disability if the people that are hiring me knew in advance that I had this specific disability? Patricia’s response was “NO” I cannot be fired provided that my future employer knew in advance what my disability is.
It is not likely that I will find a mentally appealing job that can task me at 57 years old when I tell people what my disability is but I stopped apologizing to people long ago about my disability as the people that react to my disability when they have a choice not to, they are the ones that are disabled not I.
Whenever I go anywhere I carry my federally approved by the DOJ Reasonable Accommodation statement, which pretty much to the average person appears that I am forcing my disability on them, but I do not see it that way. There is a law in place that is doing the forcing which in my case the resistance I get from people is squelched as this resistance is similar to the crap JFK had to deal with with desegregation with George Wallace, former governor of Alabama.
I also state reasonable accommodation on the phone which when I do not get it antagonizes me and I repeatedly will call continuously until I get what I originally called for which was to buy whatever I was going to buy.
Nobody has the right including local law enforcement to prevent me from getting Reasonable Accommodation anywhere in the USA. I told you this was going to be wordy.
Since I am on SSD I have nothing but time on my hands and what I do is open about thirty Google pages at one time and read about holistic ways to calm my mind and to make sure that the stuff I am already using for other problems that are slowly disappearing, does not interact with the new stuff. My cholesterol while I was on LIPITOR was 1175. It now sits at 89.
And that brings me to you about the distress that you are going through. If you want some of the info that I have learned around 124,000 pages of info and 28000 articles I will help you learn how you can empower yourself by knowledge. I will say adamantly that you still need to go to a holistic practitioner that is an internal medicine doctor and integrative doctor that is board certified and maybe even a Holistic board certified forensic psychiatrist as I go to also, in addition but knowledge is power.
You need to be tested to find out all of your blood levels on everything and if you have insurance the knowledge that you will receive from these tests will empower to do what I do with both of my doctors which is similar to the former TV show called House. I became my own Dr. House to find out where I am at and where I need to go.
My major problem is my memory since I practically remember everything that relates to holistic medicine(go figure how I always forget where my keys are) I now know more than both of my doctors. I would go back to school with FAFSA however I do not have enough to pay for what FAFSA pays and also buy my supplements.
