Unfortunately I can't find the artist or a proper source, but I've linked where I found it from.

hooo boy where do i start. i have this really expansive modern tolkien au and everybody is disabled basically. frodo? ptsd from their parent's death and later on from their experiences with dealing with sauron. gimli? wheelchair user. elrond? autistic. thranduil? limited vision in one eye and substance abuse disorder. thorin? bpd. frerin? also autistic. dain? amputee. the list goes on and on and i love them ALL

All of these make so much sense! Ah I love it. You've also reminded me that Dain Ironfoot is another disabled character who I'd completely forgotten about. Clearly that was a grievous mistake, Dain deserves better.

I'm also loving they/them Frodo, you're definitely making me 👀 Have you published any of the AU? Everyone can promo their disabled Arda fanfic at any time 👍
