Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you're needed by someone.

The thing about living with any disability is that you adapt; you do what works for you.

When you hear the word 'disabled,' people immediately think about people who can't walk or talk or do everything that people take for granted. Now, I take nothing for granted. But I find the real disability is people who can't find joy in life and are bitter.

Disability doesn't make you exceptional, but questioning what you think you know about it does.

For me, disability is a way of getting some extremity, some kind of very difficult situation, that throws an interesting light on people.

I used to think of myself in terms of who I'd be if I didn't have this pesky old disability.

Disability is often framed, in medical terms, as the ultimate disaster and certainly as a deficit.

I don't think of myself as being disabled, or able-bodied.

The problems of the disabled are unpopular.
