There are many other conditions that are labelled as
disabilities but as we are born with them they cannot be
classified as abnormal. They could be called special
conditions as they require what is called normal to treat
them uniquely. The disability appears in the inability of
those labelled normal being unable to allow this
uniqueness to be correctly utilised by the unique person
and by society. It is the inability of so called normal to
embrace the gift of this uniqueness that could earn
normal the label of disabled. We try to fix what isn’t
broken and to change the uniqueness into normality or as
close as we can get to that.
