I'm the daughter of a person who uses a wheelchair and I just wanted to thank you for doing this AMA!
I know my mother's childhood was very difficult because she had to be raised in an institution since her parents couldn't afford the care her and her sister needed at the time (this was during the late 1950's). I was wondering how you feel about your childhood and whether you feel society is progressing towards more tolerance and a less medicalised view of disability?
