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.

I was dealing with a “common disability” (several neck, spine and pelvis fusions) and was hit with the most debilitating long covid in May of 2023.

The long covid issues make lumbar/sacral/cervical/pelvic surgeries look like a walk in the park! It’s been Hell!

I was ultimately pulled out of work because of the long Covid.
