Many authors maintain that disabilities are not like other traits. They
argue that disabilities are inherently negative, unlike traits such as
race and ethnicity, and therefore disabilities do not need to be treated
neutrally. I argue that disabilities are not negative from a certain
perspective that of forming the identity of a person.
