Are you physically disabled

Post Reply New Topic

I have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a physical disability brought about by constant weakening of the muscles.

No, I sure am not.

Feel free to talk to me, if you wish.

I am somewhat busted up, though not extremely so, from a number of injuries that add up and aggravate each other to become very annoying.

no

Nearsighted and clumsy but otherwise fine.

I have hemifacial microsomia (Goldenhars), which impairs me neurologically on the left side of the face and causes a degree of facial deformity plus mild scoliosis. Since it doesn't impair my mobility, I've never claimed it as a physical disability in the past. Technically, since my ASD is probably linked to it as a congenital neurological impairment and it is mentioned as a likely causative factor in my official ASD diagnosis, it would probably be viewed now as a physical disability for ADA purposes.

No

I have CRPS. SSA considers it a disability, so I guess it counts.

No, but I have poor eyesight.

Sometimes I get really bad arthritis but I am still able to walk, so there is that.

I'm able for the time being.

Does severe sinus issues count?

i have to wear glasses and i'm pretty clumsy with my long legs but otherwise i'm fine.
i had some back pain when i was younger, around 13-14 but it has mostly cleared up.

not at all

according to the all-knowing social security administration, i "merely experience discomfort". so i refer to myself as "unabled" rather than "disabled".

I impaired vision and have nystagmus in both eyes for which I have worn glasses since I was a toddler.
