Disability
| I'm legally (US law) blind due to a genetic form of glaucoma. Sometimes I'll use a cane in unfamiliar areas, but there's no need in a frequented location since I remember it all.
| wait, if you're blind how can you write
| >>123087 there is accessibility software that can help people with disabilities, like text to speech and speech to text programs. I think most phones have this functions by default installed, you just have to enable them.
| >>123091 nailed it. But also, I specified "legally" because it often doesn't equate to "completely." I still have some sight--it's just very poor. I don't often need Text-to-Speech, but on phones there is native text enlargement that I can utilize to read.
| so you are basically kenji from katawa shoujo
| I was born with lumbar spinal stenosis, so I'm in 24/7 pain and discomfort. Some days are worse than others.
I told my doctors that told me to go on disability to fuck off, and I work out six days a week while having a full time job.
| >>123261 props to you, dude. Reminds me of when I was a kid. The state tried to get me to go to a particular middle school because they wanted to pool all their disability resources there, but it was a shitty place that would have inhibited my education. So I just went somewhere else even though they had threatened to cut my in-class accommodations (which is illegal and we knew it), so I just went wherever I wanted and I got my shit anyway.
| Not physical, but 4, 5 years ago I was diagnosed with autism. I had suspicions ever since I was a kid, when I was in counseling my counselor suggested I was autistic, not long after I got my formal diagnosis. It's hard to tell people about considering the negativity surrounding autism as a whole tbh
| >>123489 I haven't ran into anyone diagnosed as autistic that's half as articulate as you are. If what you say is true, bravo. Fuck the haters.
| >>123085 >>123097 >>123309 now your gonna tell us that your a huge conspiracy nerd.
this gurl its basically best bro from katawa shoujo
| >>123489 It's understandable why you wouldn't be forward about it all the time. Thanks for being honest, though, even if you are anon here.
| I have a thing for disabled gurls,

| This is about to attract some shite, but know I'm dead serious. Who here has a bona fide disability? Feel free to share about it if you'd like. There's not much occasion (and/or desire) for people's disabilities to be discussed, so I wanted to hear all about y'all's battered, broken, and mangled physiology.
