I think C should count, it makes sense to me!

D is definitely a clear characteristic of disability.

Wait, is C really not included? That seems odd.

Totally agree, C doesn't fit the definition!

The ADA was enacted in 1990.

I’m a bit confused about the differences between B and C. They both seem to deal with how others perceive the impairment, but I can't remember which one is excluded.

I practiced a similar question last week, and I think the key is understanding what "substantially limits" means. I’m leaning towards C being the right answer.

I think options A, B, and D all describe valid characteristics of a disability, but C sounds like it’s more about perception than actual impairment.

I remember studying the definitions of disabilities under the ADA, but I'm not sure about the wording in option C. It seems off to me.

I'm a bit confused by this question. The log file doesn't seem to have a clear indication of the logging level. I'll have to make an educated guess.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think it through carefully.

I think D sounds a bit off because it seems irrelevant to just dissociating, right? I'll have to think more on the timeline for notifying creditors.

I'm leaning towards EAP-TLS too, especially since it seems to involve multiple authentication factors, which is a big plus over EAP-MS-CHAPv2, which is simpler.
