for fucks sake

why isnt there like... a class on known disabilities in school

literally, i just learned about Visual Snow, something that i feel like i should've known is A Thing for ages and ages, not all disabilities are visible, why the fuck are we not increasing awareness of them???

knowledge of these things *allows* people to understand and/or anticipate them, it also decreases the whole "you're just making this up" since whatever you learn in school often is more trusted than whatever people learn "random people" to trust for

seriously, some people live with this shit, and nobody knows about it

literally 1 or 2 classes, just listing the various types, or the various categories, or the ways people *can* have disabilities, would be immensely helpful

arghhhh

@ShadowJonathan yeah, even milder things like astigmatism (at least mine is fairly mild, and is also diagonal so letters aren’t too hard to distinguish like in horizontal astigmatism), I only learned about me having it a few years ago after watching a YouTube video describing it, I thought everyone had cool lens flare on all the lights at night
@Clover @ShadowJonathan wait, diagonal vs horizontal is different!? I guess I need to delve further into astigmatism 
@OctaviaConAmore @ShadowJonathan yeah, the eyeball is either squished horizontally or vertically, or both, when it’s both it becomes diagonal and if it’s more vertical squish than horizontal you get it like mine which like, mostly vertical but tilted like 30 degrees
