@dyani @shivian @ScottSoCal @Zumbador @Susan60 @actuallyautistic I think what Dyani is referring to is called the "Social model of disability" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_model_of_disability

and as autistic + adhd i 100% agree with it. They are only disabilities because of society's unwillingness to accept that there's any other way to perceive / interact with the world.

wheelchairs are only a problem (in this modern era) because people don't bother making accessible buildings & such.
