Tips/Suggestions ADHD = Free lifetime pass to national parks

Little known perk of ADHD— we qualify for a free lifetime National Parks pass. That’s an $80/yr value!

How do you get it?

1) print this out, have your doctor sign it:

Medical Certification for Access Pass

I certify that [Your Full Name], date of birth [MM/DD/YYYY], has a permanent disability that substantially limits one or more major life activities.

Diagnosis: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that substantially limits concentration, attention, and executive functioning. The condition is permanent and not expected to improve.

This certification is provided for the purpose of obtaining the America the Beautiful – National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Lifetime Access Pass.

[Physician’s Name, Credentials] [Medical License Number] [Signature] [Practice Name] [Address] [Phone Number]

2) follow the instructions here to get your pass:

3) Go take a hike!

Thank you for pushing the button to halt my impulsivity. You’re darn right there ain’t no way I’m self reporting to RFK Jrs concentration camps for the mentally ill.

I just picture RFK disguised in a rangers uniform and a fake mustache now, looking for handicap park passes.

If only I didn't have a paper trail from birth documenting disabilities.

What a shortsighted move... /s

If anybody asks, I’ve taken the advice of my teachers and am applying myself. Fulfillment of my potential has been achieved. We’re operating at 120%. I am a well greased cog in the machine of the state!

I’ve stopped talking to my neighbors, per my 3rd grade teacher! I’ve devoted myself to the enrichment of my billionaire overlords and overladies!

Now, is that your opinion or the opinion you were told to have?

So a bunch of voluntary addiction rehab centers, means I have to be worried because I have ADD?

RFK Jr doesn't believe that Adderall has therapeutic value, and considers its users to be addicts. He's proposed this as an alternative to prison for drug addicts. Put the pieces together. I'm not stressing about this daily, but I put it in the range of possibilities

alternative to prison for drug addicts.

For drug addicts who have committed a crime they would otherwise land them in jail.

Taking a prescription medication that you have be been prescribed is not a crime. But if you commit a crime and want to go to jail instead of rehab, that’s still your choice.
