What is your disability?
 

I personally don't have a disability but I have dealt with many disabilities both metal and physical through family and friends.

One thing I have learnt is it good to talk about it and share. This thread will also help people find others with similar or the same disability.

So go ahead

What's your disability?

Re: What is your disability?
 

I'm hard of hearing. It's possible I'll completely lose my hearing and it's possible that I won't. As of now I can hear most things, if there's not a lot of background noise. I can't hear quiet rains on the roof, but a hard rain I can. I have to ask people to repeat themselves sometimes but, again, it depends on how much noise there is around me. I have a constant ringing in my right ear and frequent ringing in my left. Overall it could be worse. :p I've learned some sign language and kick butt at finger spelling in ASL, so that's cool. (=

I have learning disabilities. Also, vision impairment. I can't see without my glasses, and I have trouble seeing with them. I've been told that I could completely lose my sight before I'm 25 or I could not.Right now, it could go either way.

I have dyspraxia which seems to be getting worse as Im getting older. With that, it means I'm extreemley sensitive to light and sound, I have a tendency to be interested in things that would be considered for younger people and I have an extremely short attention span. My hand/eye co-ordination is not good at all, and well, my writing is pretty much illegible.

Re: What is your disability?
 

Although I don't personally consider it a disability (for myself) I have dyslexia. I think I just see things a little differently and I enjoy my ability to see things a little backwards ^^. When I was in 3rd grade my mom told me I had been diagnosed with it and I cried because I thought it meant I was stupid. I haven't cried over it since and I do not think dyslexia makes you stupid at all.

Take good care <3.

Lots of love <3 Mimi

I have ADD, idk if that counts.
I also have something that makes me only remember little tid-bits of info, andnot stuff I actually need to learn.
