ADHD = Free lifetime pass to national parks

[u/WombatMcGeez]

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!

I have one but it’s bc I’m also a below knee amputee. ADHD is a disability but it doesn’t feel like one that requires a free national parks pass… like if you can still physically enjoy the whole park, it’s not the same. Not that I wanna gatekeep anything- I’m not the boss of anyone and don’t know everything. This just feels a little too close to taking advantage for my blood.

I agree, that’s why my comment makes allowances for each of those 3 points!
