IAAD 5 - Is albinism a disabilities?

The identification of albinism as a disability is complicated by the concept of legal blindness. In the United States, a person is legally blind if his or her vision cannot be corrected with glasses or contacts to better than 20/200 in his or her better eye.

👆🏻This is from Google. I think this is a good question. Some people experience albinism as a condition. Albinism can be compared to any other skin condition. I actually experience albinism and blindness separately. blindness to me is more of a technical experience that can be made easier to deal with by assistant technology. Yes, indeed, there is the societal fear of blindness. People who are blind or visually impaired, experience to greater difficulty in obtaining a job even though there are programs in place that can look at a job and produce the technology that will allow blind folks to do this job in the best way possible. simply put, if we provide blind-folks with an opportunity and assistive technology, we would be very much fully functioning citizens, making our own way, doing our own thing. And it should not be difficult to provide accommodations so people could live their lives to the fullest. I mean it is a human right.  

My experience of albinism is more like this abstract thing. I mean, it’s just the covering it’s just the appearance. There is nothing really that can fix this, and there is no reason to fix it other than fixing society. Ignorance and fear of the unknown is what is actually disabling about albinism. albinism is only disabling because society demonizes things that they don’t understand. this disabling, impacts us in ways that are more painful than the actual condition in itself.
