To think there will be many more disabled adults in 20 years?

[Walkyrie]

I’m disabled myself, just to put that out there.

It just seems like the number of people with a disability, usually a psychiatric one, is going through the roof.

40% of disability benefit claimants are claiming for mental health related reasons. The number of anxious children and teens on here, and that I know in my own life and family, is really really high. So many schools refusers and kids in need of extra support, special school placements and so on. It seems there are a lot of unemployed young adults living at home who simply don’t have the mental acuity to get a job, live independently, have a life of their own.

3 children in my family are currently school refusing, one we only found out about today but it was not a surprise as she’s always been very anxious and has selective mutism.

My AIBU is, should we be doing something to prepare for what may be a very high number of adults not working in years to come? How will we sustain them all?

Some people get their kicks by upsetting other people. I think they are one of them.
It is really sad.

Imagine calling me a pearl clutcher when I said I've lost two people to suicide. Words fail me. They really do. You have NO idea and you are only on here to hurt people. That's clear.

Anyone who would laugh at a post like that needs to have a good look at themselves

IVF doesn't mean "made up embryos" as standard. They usually just put the sperm and eggs in with each other for a chance to fertilise. Basically increasing their chances of meeting, rather than forcing them to!

The injecting of sperm into egg is only done in certain cases (although this is always what they show on TV if IVF is referenced).

I missed it all, but one of the symptoms of ADHD is oversharing.
This translates into very long, rambling posts with TMI and soul baring.
ADHDers will also do this in verbal conversations as well.

In a professional setting, they’re the ones who go down umpteen side trails, and throw in so many extrarraneous details to the point that the audience and even they can lose sight of the purpose of the presentation.

The planet is overpopulated with humans, we don't need more people being born but to scale back. How did 'The Matrix' put it? Something about humans being a virus on the planet. True then, true now.
The planet is finite and humans want ever more from it. I think that too many of us also had an impact on MH.
