[nagdu] Emotional Support Dog Article

Yes, I know that.

I was just stating that HIV/AIDS is a recognized medical condition.

And at some time in a persons life that has this terrible disease, they can lose vision and other disabilities, since it is an auto immune disease.

I mean not similar to Diabetes, but in the same respect, that I was not always disabled, but I have had type 1 Diabetes since the age of 13, I didn't become blind or loss of my kidneys until the age of 35.

Yes, I had to prove my disability to get services and a guide dog as well.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!

  Cheryl,
      Just as a point of clarification, a medical condition, in and of itself, 
  is not sufficient to protect a person under these circumstances. In order to 
  be afforded protection under the Fair Housing Act, the person must be 
  disabled. The same is true with protection under the ADA. This article 
  clearly states that the Court found that the plaintiff was disabled as the 
  result of the medical condition. Likewise, should any of us file a 
  complaint, it would be incumbant upon us to prove that we are disabled, as 
  these laws only protect indivisuals with disabilities.

  Fraternally yours,
  Marion Gwizdala
