I'm autistic and I've always felt I had a certain gullibility. If I'm reading an article, and an argument sounds rational. I'm more likely to fall for it. Even if it contains a ton of bad premises. I'd like to think as I've gotten older and more mature, these kinds of things work less on me. But honestly I'm not sure.

As a disabled person who's visually impaired I totally agree with this!

Hi everyone thanks so much for accepting me. My disabilities include fibromyalgia, ROP (I was born at 24 weeks gestation.) I'm also autistic and have hyperacusis. I'm hoping to contribute to what looks like a wonderful community.

It's great to see other chronic illness suffers here. As I've noticed the broader disability community despite their best intentions can have a tendency to forget about us. I'm really encouraging thing was to hear an episode on Pushing Limits that covered chronic illness.
