Stories from living with #colourblindness for #ColourBlindAwarenessDay

This is my last one. I've had it rough but for kids today I think it's worse. Colour is used everywhere in teaching and the tech uses for it. Seems to be little thought given to including colourblind kids.
I've been posting this lot because, after 50 odd years I honestly think it should be better not worse.

I shouldn't be surprised given the way ppl with known disabilities are excluded but it still sucks.

Some facts:
- colourblind people can see colours, we just get them mixed up and inconsistently
- #1in12 people born with XY chromosomes have it
- #1in200 people born with XX chromosomes have it
- 300million people have it
- it's hereditary[1] and due to a defective X chromosome

[1] v.rarely it's a side effect of another condition

I have colour vision deficiency, often mistakenly called colour blindness (I can see colours).

If you are like me you might struggle to see anything but dots here

For several years I've written help guides for employers and colleagues on including people like me but I've never written anything publicly.

Until now.
