Question by ClooneyIsAGenius: Why does “disability” mean “physical disability” to many people?
Why, in general, when I tell someone ____ has a disability that think that ____ is going to come into the room with a wheelchair, or no arm, or… with some obvious physical disability? They dont think about mental disabilities.

Answer by tonygrh12
because most people r stupid. disability means u only need a w/chair. I am physically disabled but I have a son who is autistic and also registered disabled but because he looks ‘normal’ they think he is trying to screw the system, or he is just thick. It is caused by lack of understanding .

Question by Tom T: Is diabetes considered a disability in Canada?
Hello, I am working on my OSAP application for school, and I was wondering if diabetes is considered a life long disability in Canada, or by the government. I mean, when my blood sugar is low, I HAVE to stop what I am doing, and get some sugar. Or, if I am having high blood sugars, I pee often, and drink a lot of water etc. And with both of those comes things like comas, and blurred vision, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg. This all has a huge impact on my studies during the school year. Anyways, the question is “is diabetes a physical disability?” Thanks!

Answer by Bolt
Contact the school/schools you are applying to or the Canadian Diabetes Association. Most of the schools will likely consider type 1 a disability, and many will consider type 2 diabetes a “minor disability” and make reasonable accomondations, however, you aren’t going to get a free ride on the “don’t feel like it” bus, since diabetes (both types) is generally considered controlable. So you won’t get an extra week to turn in a paper unless you’re hospitalized, but you might be allowed to bring a water or juice bottle to class. Your teachers will be informed of your condition (which is good because someone needs to know what to do if you’re becoming hypo).

Question by Joey’s Back: Am I the only Liberal sick and tired of being told to “work for a living.”?
I work VERY hard, at a low-paying job that is mostly physical labor. I have several “disabilities”, including a torn rotator cuff with a bicep that is only connected in one place, and pins in my ankle and a metal plate in my leg.

I don’t “qualify” for any sort of assistance from the government, but wouldn’t take it if I did. I believe in taking care of myself and my family!

Everytime I turn around, there is some writer on Y!A telling me that “Liberals don’t believe in work.” or that I am trying to give their hard-earned money away. Look at it from my point of view for once:

A) I have worked hard all my life (I am 60), and paid my taxes and Social Security like every other legal worker! If I or any member of my family ever needs to take a “hand up” from the government, it is only MY money that they’re getting anyway!!

B) I have never said that people should sit on their hands and wait for a government hand-out. But, I also believe that everyone COULD need a helping
hand at some point. Would I begrudge them that? NO!

C) If you don’t know me, how can you make assumptions about what I feel is right or wrong?

D) Much of MY tax money goes into things I don’t believe in or wish to support–like war for just one instance!

Who else is tired of being told to “Get a job” or “Leave if you don’t like it”???
I certainly AM a Liberal!! I question EVERYTHING and would never accept the status quo!!

How did a person like you come to embrace liberalism? You could be a poster child for us true conservatives.
