As a person with a disability, I've been told many times to ACCEPT MY LIMITATIONS: that I might get hurt if I tried to do things such as drive a car (which I do sometimes). My teachers set me apart from the others, telling me what was "too much" for me and this contributed to more bullying by other children. Some of my peers told me that if I didn't learn to run fast, I couldn't play in rough games, and I'd be alone all my life. Today, some neighbors in my building think I'm an invalid—even though using mass transit to go to work on a daily basis is no big deal. I think when people think in terms of a person with a disability ACCEPTING LIMITATIONS it's tantamount to ASSUMING THE WORST, and adds to stereotypes about disabilities.
