[nabs-l] disclosing blindness

[kcj21]

Good afternoon all,              I am currently submitting one of my literature papers to my university's undergraduate research journal and they require that I submit a bio. This led me to ponder whether I should include my blindness in this bio and when we, in general, choose to disclose our blindness. In most instances, I only bring it up when necessary. Additionally, although I am , in no way, uncomfortable with sharing my disability, I do not want it to become the central part of my bio or in anyway overshadow my work.  I would just like to open up a discussion regarding when we mention our blindness and whether that disclosure may, in some capacity, overshadow or modify our accomplishments.
Best,Kaley
