Although he would be the first person to say it isn't a disability, my first Ninjutsu Sensei is blind! He has "supernatural" senses and his skills are simply amazing!

An excellent site.
Have you done any research on martial artists with mental/developmental disabilities?

He kind of senses the strike and also has very acute hearing. He also can detect the change in someone's posture when the strike is thrown. It's very impressive to watch.

I totally agree. I believe intuition is a valid sense. It manifests itself physically so why shouldn't it be considered a valid sense?
