Should it be legal for mentally disabled people to have free access to Internet services? I believe not. They should have to ask permission from a government proctor if they have a diagnosed mental disability. This will protect them from harm.

E.g. if you have free internet access as an ADHD patient it’s just going to ruin your life. Make it so you have to have a video chat with your government proctor and you will help these people live successful lives no longer encumbered by these problems. The proctor would obviously refuse diagnosed schizophrenics access to LLMs.

We need to protect our most vulnerable. These tools are like heavy equipment. An impaired user will hurt themselves.

First off, you seem to be conflating Autism and ADHD. ADHD is simply a condition where the person's brain doesn't emit as much dopamine as a neurotypical brain easily. Next, this is one of the most ableist things I've read in a while.
