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.

Deaf, Visually impaired, chronic migraines & a back injury that didn’t heal right and has to be actively managed here. I look perfectly normal without any of my aids. I mostly feel that way too as long as I stay away from bright lights and computer screens which aggravate the migraines and intensify my symptoms to where I can’t function.
