IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE A DISABILITY TO LIVE WITH, WHAT WOULD IT BE?


[+] serious ballot by passiveson
ACTIVE Feb 25,2007 - Tue Feb 24, 09
My Aunt has been mentally handicapped her whole life and she is totally aware that she isn't like everyone else. It makes me sad when she talks about being retarded, but it makes me think how difficult life can be for some people.

People with disabilities are not given a choice. Disabilities come in three main catagories, Physical, Mental and Emotional.
Some refer to them as a weakness, some consider them as handicapped, and still others think of them as a disabilities or challenged, but I think everyone, in one way or another, is challenged with a disability in one form or another.
Below is a list of some common and not so common disabilities. If you had to choose to live with a disability, what would it be?

Loss of Arm 8
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) (Three or more) 3
Mental Retardation 2
Autism 2
Deaf and Mute 2
Multiple Sclerosis 2
Blindness 0
Downs Syndrome 0
Cerebral Palsy 0

COMMENTS:
Voted : Multiple Sclerosis
This is the closest to what I'm going through right now, loss of physical mobility, though not as severe or dramatic as what I'm facing. Nothing, IMO, could be worse than coming to terms with the realization that your body is slowly getting away from you.

Voted : Mental Retardation
Im really sorry to hear about that truthseeker. My Mum has Rheumatoid Arthritis in all of her body, and it seriously limits her physical ability. And although I wish to God that she didn't have to live with the pain, it has made her a stronger person. For me, becoming mentally disabled would be utterly awful, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Your body can wither and die, but its your mind that truly matters, like a diamond in a dustbin.

^so you choice is to be mentally retarded?

Voted : Loss of Arm
Wow this is a tough decision! lol I'd have to say loss of an arm, because at least it's not a mental impairment.

I have rheumatoid arthritis though really bad, it's the kind that even children can get, not like old age arthritis, it's caused by loose joints and it's horrible, so i do have a problem! I can't even move it can get so bad, so bad i can't so much as make a fist! I've had mine since i was 18! It sucks!
