However remember that there are several other disabilities that can occur as you age. I know several people who developed Alzheimer's or MS around their 60’s. There is no way they could work a programming job today.
I have a side project. wanna see the code? you can't! screw you it's mine!
also MS is a wildly different disease than Alzheimer's. many women especially develop MS in their twenties and it is not always progressive and it is certainly not life ending like Alzheimer's
spreading this kind of misinformation about MS makes it difficult for sufferers to find work if their disability is visible because their level of disability can be assumed to be greater than it really is. MS is extremely variable from one person to the next.
Lol. Are you ok?
> MS is a wildly different disease than Alzheimer's.
They didn’t say it is the same disease. They said “I know several people who developed Alzheimer's or MS around their 60’s.” Which is while not the typical age MS appears it can still certainly happen. (It even has a specific name to describe it. Late-Onset Multiple Sclerosis)
