Yes, it is amazing how many people confuse illnesses and conditions with having a disability. Can walk, shop, go out around a pub and club, go walking in the countryside, excersise? If so can you really class yourself as disabled? If you are in your wheelchair and have to sit outside most shops as your chair will not get through the gap and you need a parking space not taken by an able bodied person, does that make you disabled?0

I can do all those things while wearing a nappy and being supervised (well I could before). As I'm not 3 years old surely that's pretty disabling?0
