This phenomenon makes me SO mad, and it feels SO ableist.
How do you think it feels every time I have to figure out whether it matters that my 10 surgeries don’t fit in the one line you gave me?
Or that my rare genetic conditions don’t fit in that tiny “other” line?
Or checking boxes for symptoms I know you’ll ignore because I deal with chronic illness?
I optimize for large medical systems to minimize paperwork.

Now that I think the Herschel Walker saga is coming to an end--at least I hope it is, I want to gently remind all of us that casual #ableism is not okay. Making fun of Walker's ideas is perfectly fine. I have been so disappointed in people, journalists, friends, and acquaintances this year because of the lack of understanding of #disability. Herschel Walker is clearly dealing with #CTE. There's just no excuse for the kind of comments I've seen.
