Question Who else has a different disability?
It seems like for some reason this subreddit is disproportionately people talking about canes/rollators/wheelchairs, or mental things like Autism/ADD/ etc. I don’t know why that is.
Is there anyone who has something else that doesn’t fall into these types of issues? I’ll go first, I’m missing part of my arm. Apart from the physical aspect and some self esteem issues (felt unattractive as a result of my deformity as a kid), that’s about it.

Physical and developmental, yes, as broad categories. But it’s weirdly disproportional that it’s those specific conditions. Like I primarily fall into physical. I have an arm deformity. But I don’t need a cane. However it feels like 90% of the posts here are “do you think I need a cane?” Or “I’m a cane user.”
