How many of you have a physical disability, along with AS? And what is it? Mine is Chronic Fatigue Immune Disorder.

Not sure if this counts, but I had iron-deficiency anemia.

I have epilepsy but it's controlled. Hopefully this won't post twice. I had problems with getting it to work before.

I have a mild case of Spina Bifida. (Doctors say they can tell by the way I walk, but the average person would never notice it.)

Dyspraxia, but only in gross-motor functions. My fine-motor skills are above average.

Dunno if that even counts as a disability, though. I mean... dyspraxic << paraplegic or something.

Okay, you're starting to freak me out. Second paragraph exact same.

First paragraph, yeh, I have dyspraxia but its fine-motor difficulties rather that gross-motor. I don't know about gross in terms of averages though.

I really don't have any physical disabilities.

I'm just mildly uncoordinated. And I used to have slightly dyspraxic speech.

Don't know if it counts as a disability as such, but I have a very weak and raspy voice (sounds like permanent laryngitis) due to paresis (partial paralysis) of my left vocal fold, the result of long-term intubation when I was born four months premature. I had fine and gross motor skill problems when I was younger, but I've since grown out of them.
