I would like discussions about different disabilities.
@AffyAvo I don't know if this is too controversion or narrow or whatever but I'd like to hear more from the disabled community and the straw bans and how it affects them.
@ReadBooksDrinkTea It's more narrow than what I intended for the disability team to cover a discussion topic (for an example of a forum discussion see this one on bullying)
I think that it's a great topic to still have though! You're welcome to start it yourself if you like, the discussions is still a good category for it.
I think an incontinence page might be a good idea. A number of people have it and it can be difficult to deal with. I think cups would be a great place to come for more support.
A little bump to the thread.

Bump to the thread
I’d like a discussion about how mental illness and physical disabilities intersect- for example, how it can be hard for someone with a mental illness to remain emotionally stable when their pain flares. (Speaking from personal experience here- some of my worst break downs were over the fact that I couldn’t think straight due to pain)
Also, I’d prefer it if it was a forum discussion, and I wouldn’t mind starting it myself except for the fact that I don’t really know how to? Like, I have a nebulous idea, and I’ve experienced it first hand, but I’ve got no idea where to find resources (which has been a real problem) or information on it. Honestly it’s annoying. It can’t just be me, right?

@adequatelyInadequate We do have something similar for group chat. I can help you get a forum discussion going from that. I'm wiped today but will get the information soon.
