After I had been living in cohousing for about 2 years, I began to feel like we were a whole group of disabled people and what did this portend for cohousing? We had multiple levels and types of hearing loss, obesity, hoarding, various types of vision loss, two with MS, three heart problems, brain damage, stuttering, at least 4 with birth defects, serious allergies, autism spectrum disorder, at least 4 with dyslexia, and I’ve forgotten what else. Ultimately I realized that it was the effect of knowing everyone better, the freedom to share such information, and better diagnostics so people could name what their condition. Almost all of these would have been invisible in a typical neighborhood or workplace. Sharon ---- Sharon Villines Takoma Village Cohousing, Washington DC http://www.takomavillage.org
