Disability Bingo Fest

[ysabetwordsmith]

March is Disability Awareness Month. Now is a good time to think about limitations of all kinds -- mental, physical, even metaphysical for those of you working with speculative settings. This challenge will run from March 1-March 31.

The bingo card generator has two lists specifically related to this month's theme. Handicaps is a list of particular impairments that you might find inspiring. People with Disabilities is full of characters and situations that come up in this context. You can make a card for one or both, or mix them together. Some other lists you might like to use include Characterization Tropes, Childhood Experiences, Desperate Situations, Emotions, Gentle Fiction, Negative Coping Techniques, Positive Coping Techniques, Problems That Can't Be Solved By Hitting, Little Actions for Self-Care, and any of the Hurt/Comfort Bingo lists. For the public cards, I offer you a 4x4 in each of the two thematic lists.


HANDICAPS

Autism or Asperger's Syndrome	Arthritis	Mutism	Amputation
Anxiety	Immunodeficiency	Phobia	Asthma

Made myself a simple 3x3 card for this round, hoping for a black-out if my current health woes don't keep me from it.

This is a silly question, but would Anorexia/Eating Disorders and Borderline Personality Disorders fall under the category of acceptable prompts for this fest?

Yes...

All disabilities are viable prompts for this fest. Any physical or mental condition that substantially interferes with a person's life is a disability. If the ones that interest you aren't on the original list, you can just type them into the Bingo Card Generator.
