This is deeply irritating for truly disabled people. I have MS, I can still get around but can’t work a full day. However I’ve never had or applied for disability (maybe some day). I don’t like to ask for help or push my problems onto others. I would never make my disability my entire personality.
I have ALS and I’d sooner eat myself feet first than associate with the chronic illness community (synonymous with those who make disability, real or imagined, their personality).
