[QUOTE="Neicy0412, post: 268653, member: 43840"] I too am also shocked, that you should tick yes to the question "do you consider yourself to have a disability?" I do not consider I have a disability!!! I can walk, talk, hear, I have full use of my arms and legs, I simply have a medical condition, as do people with asthma, skin conditions, people who wear glasses, etc etc. I am not nor have ever been disabled!!! I feel that to say yes to this question, would change the way people see me, currently, I am an ordinary mum, friend, daughter and colleague, with a tendency to have the odd " funny turn" if I declare myself to have a disability then I feel everyone will start looking for issues, and every little thing will be put down to my "disability" so for me, it is and will remain a very definite " no" [/QUOTE]
