Not every disabled person would jump at the idea of a cure. For me, I wouldn’t know who I would be if I were never born with a disability. It informs my every experience and memory, and therefore, how I see and relate to the world.

Can you help me out #DisabilityTwitter? If you're a person with a disability who prefers #PersonFirstLanguage, why? Feel free to DM me. *Not here to judge. **NOT a thread for debating person-first vs. identity-first. ***If you don't have a disability please don't reply.

#InaccessibilityMeans even when there are plenty of tables free, they’re all high tops, so you have to wait at a restaurant if not everyone in your party can physically sit at such high tables.
