I'm not talking about mental incompetence. Nor am I saying what those places do is right. I'm saying it's done under a special government program and subsidy. Which is therefore different from the jobs you are applying to.

And oh for what it's worth, I am from the US. But not being from the US doesn't disqualify someone from being able to answer your question.
countries outside the US have very different standards for employment and would be coming from a different place.

What is the difference. You're basically saying 'you can have a disability and not be disabled', and that makes no sense.

So you're saying that person should check "no" to the question are you disabled, because they can work.

that doesn't even make sense.

i have a disorder that is listed under example conditions to disclose a disability. i flat-out lied and said i had nothing of the sort.
Can they find out.
