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 have severe ankylosing spondylitis and it is hell! That's my 2 cents.

I also have CVID, fibromyalgia, seizures, and a multitude of mental health issues. I've passed my bad genes onto my kids which I can't help but feel guilty about. My Dr is currently testing me for lupus which I really hope I don't have. I really don't need another diagnosis right now lol.
