Also posting this here for visibility and clarification: This wasn't a Canadian government form, it was in fact a medical screening form! And more than a few people have filled in the same form and likely got in the same result. Here's my in-depth explainer.

So I went Full Journalism and think I've discovered why several folks have shared the same image saying "Writer" isn't a valid job.
It's from a medical screening questionnaire. Here's my explainer! BUT ALSO here's a link to the metadata from my original image.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. I was first published at the age of eleven and (like many) I sure know what it's like to have other people steal your ideas, but I promise you that's not my style. Across twenty years of writing and presenting I've never lacked my own ideas or material.
