Disability doesn't make you exceptional, but questioning what you think you know about it does.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The thing about living with any disability is that you adapt; you do what works for you.
Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you're needed by someone.
I have a strong sense that I have to educate people about disability.
For me, disability is a way of getting some extremity, some kind of very difficult situation, that throws an interesting light on people.
We think we know what it's all about; we think that disability is a really simple thing, and we don't expect to see disabled people in our daily lives.
I'm definitely more understanding of people who have disabilities and who are suffering.
I think that everyone has something about themselves that they feel is their weakness... their 'disability.' And I'm certain we all have one, because I think of a disability as being anything which undermines our belief and confidence in our own abilities.
I used to think of myself in terms of who I'd be if I didn't have this pesky old disability.
The only disability in life is a bad attitude.
I still find it strange, I suppose, when I say to someone, 'Can you just pass me my leg?' But I don't ever think about my disability.
