A disability can make you more capable of dealing with stress and help you view a problem from different angle till you reach the solution. I was helping my student with her research paper. The task seemed overwhelming and very frustrating, it's a huge part of her grade. I took a few "steps" back and changed a few key points and now we have a very doable paper. Due to my unique perspective on life I am able to tackle seemingly challenging tasks and break them down to sizable parts.
