I don't know. In most of the civilised world, diagnosis unlocks options that were previously not available.

In what part of the world would you rather be sick and undiagnosed than have your illness acknowledged?

Any place with red flag laws, including the USA. A diagnosis can make you a second-class citizen with fewer rights.

Unsurprisingly, disabled people still want to exercise their constitutional rights[1]. Blindness isn't a binary condition, there are millions of legally blind Americans with enough usable vision to own and use firearms responsibly.
