It would be a normal piece of such a list. We don't say that, we say mental or physical ability, which may be the same, but I don't feel that I can judge. So I'm asking if others have considered it.<br> ><br> > As to asking someone else, well, I don't want to presume, in any way, but there is at least some similarity across visible disabilities, or rather in the way that they have often attracted abuse, derision or harassment.
