do colorblind people consider themselves disabled https://bark.lgbt/@nycki/115968101609639436
@hipsterelectron a close friend of mine is red/green color blind, and is a very talented professional visual artist. likewise, one of my mentors as a graphics programmer is red/green color blind. my understanding is that both individuals consider it to be more of an occasional annoyance and not any significant impediment to their chosen careers. my guess is most don't consider themselves to be disabled

@aeva i think it's useful to view it that way but if that approach isn't available nothing will change

@hipsterelectron but things have changed though. colorblindness accessibility modes have become a lot more common, there's a lot more materials available now to explain how to validate stuff for colorblindness readability, and average quality of said accessibility efforts has generally improved significantly, or so I'm told

@aeva more generally i want people to overcome the perception that disability is a personal weakness as opposed to a more general understanding of the human condition

@hipsterelectron I think don't think that's the reason. I think it's more like, if you frequently forget you have a disability, it is hard to think of it as a disability. Like, I don't think of my extreme nearsightedness as being a disability even though I absolutely cannot see more than a few inches in front of my face without corrective lenses. I do however see my convergence insufficiency as a disability because the severe eye strain is a literal loss of ability.

@hipsterelectron if I had aspirations of being a pilot, I imagine I probably would be a lot more bothered by my nearsightedness however

@hipsterelectron digression: my adhd is in a funny spot because it absolutely did hold me back from following my dreams before I got it under control about 10 years ago, but also I was completely unaware of it for most of that time and had previously diagnosed with adhd and simply forgot that I had it because adhd is like that sometimes. Now I have amphetamines nobody can stop me not even god.

The eight lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that, Leon?

Vi racconto questa. Ormai da quasi dieci anni faccio circa tre incontri con le scuole ogni settimana, in tutta Italia. A volte sono medie, a volte superiori. Quando comincio, sto zitto un attimo, e poi dico “Alzi la mano chi ha un sogno” …. https://cctm.website/enrico-galiano-italia-2/

@mantaray Benvenuto!

@tfardet @feliks I would have said "Kazuma Kiryu" instead of "A person" as well as it's clearly him, although I don't understand why.

@DigiDavidex Le persone autistiche sono molto legate alla ripetitività ed alla routine quotidiana. Credo che vedere un'interruzione o un cambiomaneto in ciò che viene svolto giorno dopo giorno possa essere motivo di ansia e panico per loro.

@aeva You are carrying a beautiful blue carpet, a smooth stone, a slip of cardboard, and a puce nanofilm spool.
