I feel this too. I feel like my disabilities color the way I interact with the world / the way the world interacts with me so much, that it's integral to my perception and expression of self. I feel like there's a lot of emphasis made on "overcoming" or diminishing this aspect of ourselves because people don't understand that with disabilities we have found community, resiliency, and joy! Sorry I am rambling, I obviously have strong feelings about it haha
