Have you seen?: Why are disabled people happy?

One of the most difficult things in life is to be unhappy all the time. Most people have too much to do to waste their valuable time on being unhappy.

This applies also to people who seem to you to be disabled. Generally, they see themselves not as disabled, but as 'differently abled.' They are the way they are, and the priority for them is to get on with life. Whether from birth, illness or ..→

We offer information for people who have BIID, their family and friends, researchers, the press, and the general public. Our goal is to provide as complete an understanding of Body Integrity Identity Disorder as possible.

This site is about BIID, by people who have BIID, although we present the viewpoint and material of many other people. Transabled individuals understand their condition best, and are able to speak about Body Integrity Identity Disorder from personal experience rather than just from a theoritical understanding of it. That said, we hope that researchers and medical professionals will participate on the site.
