Discussion of myself ~ whoa I'm vain

I've never been one to do advance planning. I think it originates from the 'helpful' attitude that society holds towards disabled people. In my life, I used to understand it as people being nice. However, there is an implicit attitude that a disabled person is incapable. There is also an implicit attitude that disabled people are non sexual beings. A disabled person in film and fiction is often disgruntled or 'overcomes' the way they are. Can't say that I agree with any of this, or reconciled with it.
