Don't be smarmy. That explains why you attempted to make your previous post personal. I didn't volunteer to designate who gets a license; the government agency that's handing out licenses should. Just as they should be handing out licenses to the visually impaired or anyone else who legitimately needs them. Similarly, a person can be visually impaired to a lesser degree such that they do not need a guide dog to manage life.
There's a spectrum of anxiety disorders. Person X may need a support animal, it may have a significant positive effect on Person X's ability to manage his or her daily life, but Person X may not need to have it with him/her at all times. Person Y, on the other hand, may need the animal with him / her to be able to go out the front door. This is a meaningful distinction and should be recognized.
