There is someone on this forum who appears to look out for anti-disability comments, often perceiving them when none are meant - it appears if you don’t wholeheartedly agree with them, then you must be disablist or believe that disabled people don’t matter.

See how what you wrote sounds from another viewpoint?
Try walking a mile in someone else’s shoes, to gain their viewpoint and see things from their perspective - if you don’t gain any self-awareness or knowledge, at least you’ve gained a pair of shoes…
*I obviously don’t believe or agree with this view…
