Peer comment mentions the ridiculous "emotional support dogs" situation. Another example is the ridiculous abuse of ADD diagnoses to get extra time on tests. Oh and CA just had to roll back and fire, respectively, the soft on crime laws (prop 14) and public officials (oakland mayor, los angeles DA) because, surprise surprise, they lead to way more crime. People respond to incentives even if you don't think they do. Lots of people who work from home don't do much work.





All of these examples have nothing to do with disability accommodations at work.

Lots of people in offices don't do much work too. I mean, that was true before people worked from home. Can you actually cite any statistics that prove this is a widespread, pervasive issue?

Anecdotal evidence only seems to serve proof that you're annoyed at a bunch of things people do in society and somehow that means accommodations in the workplace for people with disabilities must also have the same perceived issues.
