Meta point: I'm curious of people's thoughts when OPs in general post "I'm N years old..." or "I'm a blind programmer who..." before posting something unrelated to their life situation. Personally I think this falls into the "girls do not exist on the internet" rule of thumb. No reason to state that you're a girl (or 12 years old or whatever) other than to prime people to look upon your writing with lower standards. I think it is fine to mention your situation in passing or as a footnote if it is interesting, but unsure it really adds anything to lead with it (personally I think it detracts).
That's just my opinion. Anyone else have thoughts?
FWIW this seems pretty well written from just skimming the intro and a bit of chapter 3.
Edit: sorry I did not mean for this to be the top comment and push OP down so far. The writing here is really good and folks should definitely click through and at least give it a skim if they're interested. I was just curious what people's thoughts were on this topic.
