    Thank you. It’s indeed not that different. Going from 1 in 12 to 1 in 10 is not as great difference as I assumed.

    I need to review my opinion on the magnitude of the freeloather problem.

    I assume you might work in the field, given your chosen username?

      I used to study social data science. A couple of my projects, including masters thesis were dedicated to disability, but I didn’t specialise in disability specifically.

      And then I became heavily disabled myself (by utter unluckiness).

      So while I did work in a similar field this is mostly coming from personal experience.

        I work a lot in data science too. But yeah, I was born with it, had to live with it, even before diagnosis.

        That’s my point of view: I can do it despite, given A and B and C …

        You’ve known a before. I can imagine the difference to be shocking. You have before and after!

          Yeah it’s pretty bad. I haven’t been able to leave my bed since I became disabled. My body is basically half dead
