@ahimsa_pdx@disabled.social Too many people think disability categories are all-or-nothing. But they are all on a gradient* from super mild to super severe. And some (depending on the cause) have symptoms that come and go entirely or just wax and wane. Some are a matter of conserving precious energy or managing pain. Blind != 100% blind Deaf != 100% deaf Wheelchair != paralyzed *spectrum means varied symptoms, gradient means varied severity
