I needed to hear this today. Even amongst other disabled people, I feel like a failure because of the things I cannot do.

There are many variations of disability. Some are easy to work around some are not. if you can work around yours great - but not everyone can

I never let my disability stop me. It stops me. I never let it but I don’t have the capacity to stop it, so letting it is moot. If I have a bad day I simply cannot do certain things. It is not permission, it is not my will, it is not weakness, it is a disability.

The way people take credit for outcomes on the positive side of the ledger and disavow their shortcomings is hilarious and a natural consequence of an individualistic point of view.

Nobody chooses their DNA, family, religion, trauma, place of birth, etc. Why are we taking responsibility or credit for things we have zero control over?

Yes. Giving disabled a chance does not mean forcing them trying.
