[Social-sciences-list] How and When to Let Prospective Employers Know About Vision Loss

[RuthClaire Weintraub]

I have disclosed that I no longer drive and been denied jobs because of that.

In one case I was offered the job before I disclosed and when I did,
the offer was rescinded. Maybe I should have kicked up a big fuss
about it but I didn't, at the time, feel like taking on the US
military.
