Technically I am disabled as far as the government is concerned, which is what pisses me off the most. They concede that yes, I am indeed disabled, but it's an issue with how much I've paid into social security that makes me ineligible for disability aide, so even though they agree I'm disabled, they won't give me any documentation or help. Oh, US government...
And I have had trouble with getting certifications of disability through the medical field and the like, mainly for the same reason as you. My problems aren't all the time, constant problems. Essentially, a disability is any condition that restricts a person in everyday life. Most places of work can accommodate, but without outside pushing they usually won't. Usually if there are local groups they can send a representative to kind of pave the way for you. I've never had any luck with that because of the isolated area I live in, but I know lots of folks who've been able to get employed through those methods.
There are also groups online devoted to getting the disabled into the work force, and have lists of disability friendly companies, work at home opportunities and other helpful resources. Lemme dig up some links for you!
