Interesting that we should get onto that topic. I personally am not
that hot on the term disabled, it always makes me think of a car by
the side of the road, with both blinkers flashing. I suppose we could
have a lively discussion for days on end, about how we should label
ourselves, or about how others should refer to us, and we'd probably
never reach a consensus.
