So what exactly is Disability Pride?
Often times, people think about a disability as a medical diagnosis. For example: “My disability is a spinal cord injury” or “my disability is depression” or “my disability is a brain injury.” Disability is more than just the physical and/or mental effects on the body. Disability is more than the pills that you take or the doctors that you see. It’s a part of who you are. However, a disability is not the only identity you have; of course, you may identify yourself by gender, race, height and so on. All of your identities are important and have valued. - AmeriDisability
