Disabled individuals should not have to justify their conditions or prove their limitations to those who refuse to understand. The assumption that disability can be ‘cured’ through sheer effort is not only ignorant but also harmful.

However, while forgiveness is a noble pursuit, it’s equally crucial to set boundaries and not enable or reinforce arrogant behavior through dialogue or acquiescence.
