Another thing that annoys me is the “spiritual” position. Could someone explain me what makes a disabled person more “spiritual”? To me, it’s a remanent of Christianity, which supposes that anyone suffering is closer to God and, thus, more “spiritual”; that’s simply absurd. Disabled people are people who can’t walk or see, there shouldn’t be any other connotations related to behaviour, wisdom or beauty because these categories are not related at all to disability but through social and cultural prejudices. Keeping connotations, good ones or bad ones, only helps to consider the collective under stereotypes.

But here’s a nice book that might be of help to you guys as well: http://www.howtostopselfsabotage.com. I found it to be a nice read. :)
