crowdsourcing question

Does anyone have good articles on the topic of mental health and the ADA for an audience of working researchers? EEB specific would be great but is not required. I'll be co-leading a group discussion in my department on the topic in two weeks, and I need to send something out. Currently I'm thinking of this Meg Duffy piece on crying in science, but I'd like to touch more on what kinds of mental health supports are actively required in academia which people might or might not have realized. I would also like to find pieces to the effect of "this is why you should care about disability and mental health shit in academia, guys."

It's so hard to know how to focus this one--the ADA addition wasn't my thought to add into the topic, and it makes me want to talk neurodiversity, buuuut this is a very 101 crowd and I don't want to overshoot my audience. Signal boosting would be welcome.

Laziness Does Not Exist was my first thought. It' a medium piece from a college professor talking about being accommodating of neurodivergence/other life circumstances that would contribute to a student not thriving in the classroom. It might take a little bit of effort to extend that into a professional context, but the piece itself should be pretty digestible to 101 folks.
