Disclaimer:
A) For the purpose of this list, "disability" is being used as a very wide umbrella term. While some advocates and individuals may object to referring to various conditions listed below as "disabilities" and/or prefer alternative terms such as "special needs" or "differently-abled", the term is used here for the sake of simplicity. No statement or judgement is being passed by my use of "disability" for any of the conditions below.
B) Furthermore, "illness" is used here as a standard term in place of other terms of varying preference and accuracy, such as "disease", "disorder", "medical condition", etcetera. While it may not the most accurate term for some conditions listed below, it is used, once again, for simplicity's sake. No statement or judgement is being passed by my use of "illness" for any of the conditions below.
