Sure there's traditional disability and handicapped. Now there needs to be a revised standard. I first gained awarness of the problem watching a two-fingered typist. Yeah, sure not paying attention in typing might be kosher in middle school but an inability to type makes you appear retarded circa 2010. Typing is such a vital facet of modern existence that inefficiency can hinder basic needs and necessities. It's an exponential necessity. It'll be even more necessary in a decade.
Another obvious disability would be illiteracy. I mean seriously what the fuck can you do to improve or survive? Ok, I give tenacity it's due but damn. I mean even crossing the street requires reading. Signs, signs. Though if you're to stupid or stoned to understand a crosswalk well I won't even go there............You can't follow basic instructions, fill out forms, etc..
No an X on the dotted line isn't acceptable. Maybe in 1897 but not in new millenium.
The final is probably the most controversial. A low or no credit status. This could be ammended by the creditors, realators, renters but we know reality. Lack or bad credit prevents you from sufficiently performing or participating in the same level or degree (quality) of life. It's a rampant syndrome. If we were to give disability for this it would bankrupt us further. Or would force the powers that be to put an ultimatum on the collectors and approvers. Basically it would no longer be a deciding factor or question.
I would have to say a criminal record could fall under the disability category. I don't believe unless it's job specific it should matter. Obviously, you don't want a bank robber as a bank manager. Background checks should be employment specific and in some instances there should be a time limit. I mean if you got a DWI twenty years ago why can't you be a cab driver?
