I am a disabled therapist. There are a few clients who throw out the word “abelism” as they willing jump in the hole of judgement and self marginalization. I am certain they don’t even see my obvious disability as I offer to pull them back up with 1 hand. It is very difficult being disabled. But I still think it’s easier than going through the lengthy, expensive obstacle course of a prosthetic. And this is only true for me. I know people who have prosthetics and thrive with them. I think “abelism” is fodder for internet junkies. I will accept help and live a rather happy autonomous life in real time.
