Hmmm... hard one as you havent phrased it well enough... do you mean to the extent where you're in a wheelchair or something like dyspraxia?

| No, I'm not physically disabled. My coordination and strength is weak and poor but I'm not physically disabled. |

No. I'm lazy, but not disabled.

I don't think low blood pressure counts (though it affects my ability to run because I get dizzy, I can physically do it. I wonder what it's called...just general health issues?)

| My right side of my nervous system was damaged, and I could barely move it for years. However, it has gotten a lot better. I called myself disabled, but I'm so close to a full recovery that the name is meaningless. |

I'm glad you're recovering!
How did it happen?

I had a surgeon screw up my right shoulder and have pain constantly, I am extremely limited with my dominant arm, so I guess I'd fall in that category. Was thinking today I need a parking pass because I sometimes have to carry heavy things.
It sucks, work-wise, having both AS and a physical disability. Really a struggle. |

Not unless science enables us to live for as long as we want, which isn't a very distant possibility.
BTW, I am not physically disabled. |

My eyesight, even with corrective glasses is far from perfect but isn't bad enough to classify as legally blind so I answered no.
