I am colour blind. I wish more computer programmers were familiar with what colour vision deficiency is and how apparently insignificant, whimsical and/or aesthetically appealing choices in colour palette can mean the difference between usable and unusable user interfaces for the (surprisingly large) fraction of the population with a CVD.
I have Attention Deficit Disorder, which was only diagnosed in adulthood. It pretty much ruined the first 25 years of my life. Today it is reasonably well-controlled by medication. Everyone has, to varying degrees, some familiarity & experience with deficits in attention. One of the clinical criteria of ADD is that the problem is so substantial, systematic and pervasive that it interferes with education, employment, relationships, day to day responsibilities and/or goals & aspirations. Medication helps put people with ADD back in control of their lives, but those diagnosed in adulthood can find themselves at considerable disadvantage (in education, employment, finances, relationships) in comparison to their peers, and that's something medication can't fix.
