Thanks for writing about this topic! I would like to see more discussion about disability on the forum and in other places!
On a personal note, I have dynamic disability (disability that varies in how it affects you over time and in different periods) and part of why I’m able to work full time currently is the flexibility and understanding that my remote-first employer and amazing manager have afforded me.
Part of learning about my own conditions and looking at how they impact me and others like me, and their global burden is what led me to want to look at the largest sources of suffering and how I could help to alleviate them.
Experience of disability is obviously very diverse and personal, and is not always negative but I am definitely motivated to alleviate suffering of others based on my own experiences.
I sadly don’t contribute to this topic as much as I’d like as I’m already stretching myself in my current role so thanks for your voice here!
