I haven't seen anyone say that literally. I don't think we're bragging, just sharing information about ourselves, like we do in a lot of other 'general chat' topics. I also don't think disabilities/disorders etc. should be a taboo topic. It needs to be more open so people know that they're not alone. None of us are probably going to meet each other in real life anyway.

Describing it as people being 'screwed' just reinforces the belief that it's something to be looked down on, which it's not.

Iagree. I have autisim, but just because I'm saying it doesn't mean I'm braging about it. And also describing people with 'disorders' as being "screwed is just plain stupid. Neither me or my friends or anyone with so called "disorders" is screwed up, just different. And even if you don't believe people with "disorders" are "screwed up" you shouldn't say it anyway, even in joke, because it just spreads the belief that it's something to look down on, witch it DEFINATELY IS NOT.

That does not give you the right to troll here. I don't think anyone's "bragging" about anything, and having a disability does not make anyone "skroowed up".
Anyway, I have ADD and used to have depression.

I never said that anyone here was screwed up. I chose my words carefully just so that wouldn't happen, and it appears that I failed at that. Just to note, when I'm speaking in n00bsp33k, I'm putting words in other people's mouths. That's just what the thread appeared to me as, people bragging about things like this. I did not mean that as an insult (trust me, you'd know if I did).

I have asthma and I'm short sighted in my left eye, but with my other eye I can see reeeally clear. I'm meant to wear glasses when I'm watching TV, but I never do. tongue

I had and the keyword is 'had' Cancer. Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, or ALL. It just mean my bonemarrow was just not working properly, producing too many white cells and not enough red blood cells and platelets. I was diagnosed back in 1995, relapsed in 1997 and had a bonemarrow transplant in 2000, so 8 years on and everythings all right now smile

But note it has taken a big chunk out of my childhood, so I am currently having some er... difficulties socialising. And I also know have, im not sure mental disability are the right words for it, but I have problems with short term memory. Plus it screwed up my hormonal system so I have to have testosterone injections, possibly for the rest of my life :S

Its' nto em but at least someone. My dad is blind in one of his eyes (dunno which one. I forget. XD). My dog (older one) is blind. I was almost blinded. You know wha, I think blindness likes my family. Dang it. I was supposed to use glasses while I read.... Oh well. Cause everything around me goes blurry when I focus on the book (chapter and manga.). Then I got a check up balah, blah, blah.

I think everyone has some form of a disorder/disability. Try thinking about how people, or yourself, you know behave in situations around them. Than, if there is any constant in how they act, see if you can think of it as a disorder or disability. You would have to know if the person reacts in similar ways each time however.

Though, some don't have a certain situational cause, but rather, how is acting without any situation always causing it. Such as just because they can do it and/or feel like it.

Take me. Sometimes, I have a tendency to just bang my head onto a wall or other blunt object, just because I can and I feel like it.

Remeber, it doesn't have to be something that has or can be diagnosed.

This is just something I have noticed. It has not been proven in anyway. I'm just putting down on what I have noticed and believe.

Please don't maim or kill me for putting this out.

i think i have a lot of little deroders/desabilities, but nothing special.
But no matter the desorder you have, you're never satisfied. That's the odd obout the human being, no matter what you have, you always want more. If you have no legs and no arms you think "man, if i could have arms, at least, i would be happy", but, if you just dont have legs you think "man, if i could have legs, then i would be happy". And then, if you have both, you say "man, if i were rich, i would be happy"
The important is you to focus on your positive points smile

I have Nonverbal Learning Disability (Which is apparently related to Asperger's Syndrome) and some OCD.

*Agrees with fbocabral. XD*

I have Global Devolopmental Delay, and I am a Slow Learner. I am not very good at socialising in the real world. I am slow at remembering current events. Everything I learn now will emerge out much later.

Yeah me too. We're colourblind buddy. I'll see purple and be unsure whether it's purple or blue. Same thing happens with certain shades of brown and green, and even sometimes yellow and green.

Really bad OCD.
And shyness, if that's a disease.

fbocabral · Jan 01, 2009 4:58 AM

i think its more like a personality. If its a disease or not, it depends of your view point.
I suffered a lot with that
