From your neurodivergent coworker with a psychiatric disability - Protect your peace amidst the gas lighting.

Hi fed friends,

Just here to say I am with you in solidarity. Thank you so much for all of the validation.

In college, I was registered with my school’s disability resource center. A recruiter from the workforce recruitment program came to my college to interview me for a federal internship. After my internship, I was brought on to the federal workforce under Schedule A hiring authority. (I had proved myself capable and qualified.)

As much as the news can feel like this is all just an aggressive personal attack, I know in my heart my value and contributions.

At the end of the day, the blaming rhetoric is all just gas lighting. I hope everyone can protect your peace as we continue our commitment to serve this diverse country.
