The Ignored Handicap

Color Blindness, medically known as Daltonism or deuteranopia is a common malady, especially among men. Color vision deficiency is defined as the inability to perceive differences between some or all colors that other people can easily distinguish. Most often it’s genetic, but it can be caused by other reasons.

This handicap has always been ignored. But it shouldn't be. There are an estimated 10 million colorblind people driving cars in the US and they often can't see the difference between a red and a green light.

However, they obviously function very well in daily tasks. read Ruedi's story to see just what it meant to be part of an ignored handicap.
