Stella Young suggests that in our society disabled people are viewed as exceptional and “are congratulated for getting out of bed and remembering our own names in the morning”. She believes that we need to rewire our perceptions and celebrate their accomplishments for what they are, not as impressive because of their disability. Her unique perspective inspires thoughtful reflection on how we treat people with disabilities, and how we can celebrate them more appropriately.
