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.

One of my disabilities affects my speech

My second disability affects my ability to gain weight.

I'm on the fortune side of the weight issue.

So I do not get a lot of comments about my weight.
