if someone has a disability does it matter to you

frst of all i will tell you about me im legally blind less the 2 foot of eyesight left and have been told for years i will be totally blind now i know thats only one type of disability and there are many others but my point is ive had partners break up with me in the past because of it and friends stop being friends aswell just because you cant do certian things such as go out at night for example and this is for partners and friends

It would depend on the disability. Blind or deafness wouldn't really bother me as would other random physical disabilities, but I don't think I'd be able to date someone with a mental disability (not illness) that goes past aspergers.

At least you are willing to accept somebody with aspergers. I'm highly surprised (no offence). I volunteer a lot with kids with autism, mostly aspergers, and take them to the zoo, As well as bowling trips, autism walks. . Things of that nature. Great kids. Quirky, but great. My hats off to you ma'am. To answer the question at hand, like Alex said, depends on the disability. I could easily get over physical problems, but some mental problems are my road block.

I'm sorry for what you are going through. I'm hearing impaired and living in a risk of some day my hearing will worsening or worst case become completely deaf. I have been living with this since I was a child and I got used to this fact. I hope you will find some friends that will truly respect your disability. As for disability that doesn't matter to me and I would go the same length as Alexis.

Jikokun, Aspergers really isn't bad... I mean, if they had a stronger case of it I might not be able to, but I have multiple friends with Aspergers and they are normal, just a little antisocial and don't pick up social cues very well.

I know how they are, but many people look at them like they are broken BECAUSE they are awkward in those anti-social and quirky ways. I've dated a girl with aspergers, my ex's son has aspurgers, and like I said I volunteer with the autism coalition to raise awareness and do things with kids who have all forms of autism, including aspergers. I've seen many things, many people can be cruel, including the child's own parents...

I see no problem in it. During my junior and senior years in high school i had a boyfriend that was deaf. Its one of those things that you if you like/love that person enough then you adjust and adapt. So, for me personally its no big deal, just had to watch everything with subtitles lol

To start I wrote about 3 paragraphs before I decided to shorten my response. Physical disabilities are not a problem and should never be looked down upon. Example: I have a friend who had doctors sever some tendons/nerves in his arm and leg, now he can not use his left arm and needs a leg brace to walk, however I have never met such another kind hearted person which I can gladly call my friend. I on the other hand have a huge mental file 4 to be exact and I turn them into a book if I wanted to. Simply Dependent on the mental status of each individual will always determine if you or I would enter a relationship with said person where as physical ailments do not present these difficulties, and the only thing that would stop someone from dating another person with a physical disability is their own vanity.

I would never judge a person because they have a disability. No one's perfect. I wouldn't mind dating anyone that's deaf or blind. Actually, it may even open up my mind to better understand how differently some people have to live their lives from others. From my understanding, being from the deaf or blind community is something to be proud of. You have your own way of communication that most people don't understand. And you cherish certain things more and you have to fight harder than most to prove (and I say prove because society sucks) that you can do "normal" things. It's admirable actually. As for Aspergers, one of my friends younger brother has it and he's an adorable little kid. He does have problems fitting in with his peers but so did I at that age so that's nothing strange to me lol.
