I had learning disabilities, and I couldn't express myself in the written word.

I can't say that my disability has helped my work, but it has allowed me to concentrate on research without having to lecture or sit on boring committees.

I can get motivated seeing a kid at my son's school overcome a learning disability.

I have a strong sense that I have to educate people about disability.

I'm officially disabled, but I'm truly enabled because of my lack of limbs. My unique challenges have opened up unique opportunities to reach so many in need.

When you are young, you cannot imagine being disabled. You imagine you would conquer it somehow. As I've got older, I can imagine it; I can see how life narrows in. I feel compassion for my mother now.

I was not developmentally disabled, but didn't mature at the same rate other kids did.

I don't see myself as disabled. There's nothing I can't do that able-bodied athletes can do.

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