AISH = Assured Income for the SEVERELY Handicapped.

But 1000s of ppl with diagnosis for anxiety, ADHD, etc. on lifetime AISH coverage.

AISH rolls growing at 3 times rate of population growth. Not unrealistic to look at if AISH is truly focused on "severe handicaps." #ableg https://twitter.com/RachelNotley/status/1305920623579860992">https://twitter.com/RachelNot...

No doubt that there are people with truly terrible conditions that are severe disabilities. And those people need AISH support.

But AISH isn& #39;t the only program. Other programs exist that are for disabilities that are less than "severely handicapped." #ableg

If someone has a condition but can work - even part-time - they shouldn& #39;t be deterred from working. #ableg

To lump all individuals with disabilities in with those who are truly *severely* handicapped focuses on what they cannot do, vs what they can do. #ableg

There are also conditions that may have been completely debilitating decades ago, but with modern therapy and medications, someone may be able to work part-time today.

AISH as it stands now is lifetime enrollment, with no reconsideration. #ableg
