[nabs-l] Disclosing That I am Blind on job/internship application process?

[Carly Mihalakis]

Morning, Miso,

It's not a friggen secret, is it? Don't you use a stick? As a total, 
I know I am not fooling anyohne so why hastle with lofty ideas like 
disclosure? If you're a partial, or don't use a stick, that may be 
something with which you might need to give some extra thought?
