Mark Zuckerberg Is DisAbled!
I’ve always found BBC Ouch’s monthly feature, Disability Is Everywhere, a hilariously wonderful idea. I wait with interest and excitement each month for it to be published, so I can see which current mainstream news stories its writer, Simon Minty, has found hidden disability links in.
Well, I’ve just read the latest edition, in which Simon Minty says that Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, is disabled- specifically, red-green colour blind. Apparently that’s why the Facebook logo’s blue. I’m even more surprised than I was when I learnt that Bill Gates has Asperger’s Syndrome. It just proves to me, yet again, that anything’s possible in spite of anything.
When I saw the hit Hollywood movie, The Social Network, I came out wondering whether Mark Zuckerberg may also have Asperger’s. I haven’t found any proof to support this idea so far, but one thing’s for certain. Whatever his impairment, Mark Zuckerberg is truly DisAbled, and I, as a user and fan of Facebook, definitely have a lot to thank him for.
Same Difference 
Admittedly I don’t know a lot about being colourblind but I wouldn’t have thought it appropriate to call that a disability.
