Looking for stories where one of the main characters has a disability or disabilities (blind, deaf, cerebral palsy, autism, etc...)
https://storiesonline.net/s/69294/rebecca-danced by https://storiesonline.net/a/EzzyB starts out that way, although the disability is operable and gradually fades with time.
In my Dana, Teri, and Mike Naked in School and sequels, one of the three is paraplegic.
Would being autistic/spectrum count as disability for this?
Well dang — the story I wanted to rec has been deleted. ("Hop on the Bus" by Bebop3)
Maybe not what your looking for but someone with Dyslexia has to work and try a little harder.
'The Millionaire Next Door' by Lazlo Zalezac

'Samantha's Secret' is about a girl with epilepsy dealing with a boyfriend and an over-protective mother,
There is another story about a guy moving into a neighborhood where the girl next door is deaf. The story is about starting and building their relationship.

Sounds of Love by Heathen57?
Yes, that's the one. My mouse died and I am stuck using the trackpad on my laptop, which I am slowly gaining proficiency with. I just wasn't up for the struggle of searching last night.
Job Hunt by Dual Writer
This story introduces the character Chuck. Some later stories also have him as a main character.

Ernest Bywater's Star Performance fits the request perfectly.
16 y/o Hal Smith is a quiet, unassuming Australian teen boy with a bad knee and no dreams. Taught to help people, he does; without thinking before acting. In Year Ten in a new city and school, it's a year of living in interesting times as he's often in the wrong place at the wrong time doing the right thing. He'd once dreamt of being a world athlete and had the skills to make them true, but lost them helping a stranger; and delivered a Star Performance greater than most athletes can ever do.
He has a real disability worse than the bad knee mentioned in the description.
@Keet
Can you elaborate, please?
I can but that would give away something that only comes up later on in the story but that there's something more than a bad knee is quite obvious from the beginning. I PM'd you with a little more.
Possibly Blind Sight by Vlfouquet
Bruce Bretthauer had a story on BtFH, Wheelchair Annie about a wheelchair-bound girl who wants to join the police, but it was removed for publication (I think it may be available on Amazon {spit}). Quite amusing with description of her wheelchair with police strobes and siren. Also on BtFH is Gina Marie Wylie's SSE which starts with the MC suffering an accident which destroys his body, reducing him to basically a brain in a jar.
In dead-tree, John Varley has a short that I remember: Persistence of Vision, a community of people whose mothers contracted Measles whilst pregnant, leaving them deaf and blind, however the two MCs are both 'normal'.
Also by Cpete is Poor Hunter:

Harry Carton has a couple:

I totally forgot about https://storiesonline.net/s/74291/sea-fencibles by Argon, both MCs are disabled for most of the story. One lost his hand in the Battle of Trafalgar and the other was mute after a traumatic experience.

Hungry Guy just posted a Quantum Mind Slave. It that sounds as though it may fit. Check New Stories. It is just up.
In the second book of my "Night of Madness" series, the main character is blind. And it actually has a lot of influence in her story.

Sagacious has at least a few stories with disabled characters. I liked Blind Leading Blind but other stuff I tried from him didn't really appeal to me for various reasons (just saying that I don't know if there were only the ones I read or more).
You might get a kick out of Wizard's Blind Girl's Bluff:
https://storiesonline.net/s/42032/blind-girls-bluff
It's only 2,000 words, so no big loss if you don't like it.
In my story A Sixth Generation Cowboy and a Third Generation Whore https://storiesonline.net/s/20085/the-past-effects-the the MC had a leg amputated below the knee, and is in physical therapy to adapt to a new prosthesis.
He, and several other characters have various physical, emotional, and mental disabilities they are coping with (or failing to).
I too am a disabled veteran. The characters in my story are dealing with much more serious issues than I am. Some go Off the Rails.
Some situations are a bit extreme (prostitution, criminal activities), many of the characters are extreme Thrill Seekers to the point it is self destructive.
Redemption and seeking contentment are the arc I am seeking in a long story. I hope to start posting new chapters again in March.
In the few chapters posted so far there are issues of dealing with sex as an amputee, and PTSD in several characters.
If you like the current chapters, I hope you will enjoy what follows.

He's a professor, she's a social worker. She cheats, he drives off, gets hit by a train IIRC and ends up in a wheelchair.
The Grim Reaper by Rlfj:
https://storiesonline.net/s/11339/the-grim-reaper-romantic-story
A long coming of age and love story. Graham Reaper is a kid who loves football and his redheaded Irish girlfriend. With no career prospects he joins the army and goes to Iraq where he becomes a hero several times over, culminating in 'Fire mission on my position' which earns him The Medal, a disabilty discharge and a bad case of PTSD. A long road to recovery follows.
A long series of books and well worth reading.

Time Wounds All Heels is an excellent story and well worth the price of admission. DQS is a commercial author these days.
