  1. The dependent variable is an indicator for employment in creative professions, defined as in the text, multiplied by 1000. The variable BD equals one for individuals with at least one diagnosis of this condition. Each coefficient is estimated from a separate regression. All specifications control for cohort and year fixed effects. Standard errors in parentheses are clustered at the person level. *** denotes coefficients with p-value < 0.1, ** denotes coefficients with p-value < 0.05, and * denotes coefficients with p-value < 0.1.
