Just when I think that able-bodied couldn’t do anything that surprises me anymore, I come across something that makes me think that the most prrevalent disability is the chronic failure to get on board the clue train. A South African woman was unable to get an ID because the local bureaucrats told her she would need to submit fingerprints, despite the fact that she had no arms. I’m having flashbacks to all those times when physicians asked me to take a deep breath. Or the time when I had my own challenges getting an ID card.
To the able-bodied people of the world: your collective ignorance and bias is starting to bore me. I debated even blogging about this story. In the future, you’re going to have to try a lot harder to get my attention.
