Hi, Runar. I'm not really interested -- because I am myself "disabled".
I warn you of what I said (or rather, buried) in an earlier posting):
making the disabled into a community is dangerous because most of us
(those I know, anyway) want to be a part of the dominant culture, not
form our own. Of course you can research the effect that being disabled
has on aculturation, belief...Have fun whatever you decide.

We each must decide which values are worth saving,
which satisfactions are worth sacrificing,
what ultimately we wish from life.
I fear many do not give this proposition
the sufficient thought it deserves:
until they become too engrained in a superficial life,
too far removed to find such harmony again...
