No, it would just be for a different reason or reasons...and my vision was not the problem, my problem was a significant reduction in executive function because of my being a bi-polar visual thinker on the autism spectrum.

This is exactly what I did just like everyone else and while "saying that you can't fulfill the requirements of the job....in too much pain...can't see what you're doing, or you are too exhausted or you are not emotionally keeping it together enough." Also, my back pain barely received an honorable mention at my appeal hearing even though a new MRI had been used to justify the hearing.
