It's not a terrible disability, but it does make my life a little harder sometimes. It's very rare that any public works project or manufacturer take people like me into consideration at all when designing things. When you find out what it is, I bet you'll think I'm just a whiner. But think about this: how often are things color-coded? Ever park on the blue level of a parking garage? Press the red button to stop, green to start? Things like that don't make my life easy. When people find out I'm colorblind, they even 'test' my colorblindness by asking me what color things are. If you have ever done that, don't you see that it would be like saying to a guy in a wheelchair "okay, see if you can tippy toe...No? Really? Okay, now see if you can go up these stairs" just for your entertainment.
