Totally agree with Lucy and Karen! I cover a wide range and even ones that
are rare or that others wouldn't consider a disability....remember many
people have multiple disabilities...

I am trying to find the source, but a few years ago, I read that 60-70% of
people who answered a survey identified with multiple disabilities. Also
some people have them and don't identify with disabilities they may
have...complex thing is the human!

Cheers
