Optimistic Community Care

According to the EEOC, not every medical condition is a disability. To be considered a disability, it must involve one or more of these:

A physical or mental condition that limits major life activities like:
Walking
Talking
Hearing
Seeing
Learning
A history of disability, like cancer in remission.
A serious physical or mental impairment lasting over 6 months.
Blind and deaf people are clearly disabled. But not everyone is clear about what a learning disability is.

Learning disabilities include things like dyslexia, ADHD, and auditory processing disorder. They can make it harder for someone to read, focus, manage time, and do other tasks. Since these are important skills too, learning disabilities are real disabilities.

“Mental impairment” means something that affects intellect or development. For example, someone with Down syndrome counts as disabled because their IQ is lower. Tasks like driving and telling time are hard or impossible. Also, an autistic person is disabled too. Even if they’re a genius, their social and self-care skills are slow or limited. By Rob Atkins
