BW,

I know full well what the intent of the ADA is and the majority of it is BS. The majority of it is treating the symptom rather than the cause. To put things in a box to make it easy to justify certain actions given our societies structure.Take substance abuse as an example as it applies to this topic. The ADA does not require or set a side diagnosis and treatment of all underlying causes to the susbstance abuse as a requirement of diagnosis and treatment of the symptom. Meaning you meet the criteria by simple diagnosis and most corporate insurance programs will pay for treatment of the "disease" never treating the whole person just the "disease" which is really just a symptom of other causes. The number one cause of recidivism is not treating underlying causation of the abuse. Happy ,fullfilled ,content whole individuals do not make the choice to abuse substances. They are many socitites on earth that allow of blind studies to thses behaviors.
