If employers some day are ever going to use this to require you to poop in a cup to prove you're a neurotypical in order to secure employment, I'm fucking done.
It's only the next step. Nonpsychoactive thc metabolite drug tests are so normalized almost no one irl even sees an issue with it even after decades of reform. Why not keep going.
You ever seen gattica? Similar concept
I understand the anxiety but realistically don't think you need to worry - autism would be a protected characteristic under most legal systems, right? You don't choose to have autism so it's not like drug use where there's at least some degree of choice involved.
Yes, but not everywhere. Ehm Germany...
