Honestly I believe this is a market that needs to be filled everywhere… All sorts of things like remote and in person services, and any range of things like chiropractors, dentists, etc who can come to them at their home. Maybe even going as far as replacing services like doordash/Instacart too, or possibly having some kinda non-profit situation who helps to pay for those things for them… This is something you’d be surprised how many people suffer from, yet have absolutely no assistance, even simple things like bringing groceries and having those costs offset/covered somehow, or maybe some other ideas…

Let me know what you think lol

    You can qualify for disability just being obese. I know several people that are motorized chair bound and on disability, and just sit home ordering DoorDash.

    That doesn’t make it a disability. They have eating disorders.

    I have two disabilities in your definition: alcoholism, and GAD. I have had to deal with both most of my life. They are disorders.

      You have crazy definitions of disability. You really need to educate yourself on not only disabilities in general, but what the ADA classified as a protected disability. The fact that you’re here claiming it’s not, on its own, it’s against the protected rights of disabled persons and can land you in trouble. This isn’t the subreddit to even be debating about disabilities or not, it’s a subreddit about services for agoraphobics.

      Your “disabilities” aren’t recognized by the ADA, nor SDDI so - nice try. GAD, maybe SDDI, if it kept you from substantial gainful employment - but still not ADA recognized

      Anxiety, phobia, panic attacks (agoraphobia is in all that as well), is recognized under the ADA.

      You coming here challenging whether it’s a disability or not and basing your answer on that is petty, rude, and not even what this subreddit is for. Grow up and stop being a bully.

      Goodbye.

        What do you think GAD is, if not “anxiety”? And yes, it often involves panic attacks.

        And I’m welcome to claim anything is not a disability.

        I’m not employing you. I’m not telling you that as a customer of my business, and discriminating. The ADA protects you from behaviors, not other people’s opinions.
