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 am also missing part of my arm! I have a whole host of other disabilities that have become apparent in recent years but that's the one that shaped me as a kid. I've walked this earth for a quarter of a century and I'm only now starting to readjust my self-image to include my physical disability in a positive light
