The other thing to remember about 'the bloke down the road' is that a lot of disabilities are hidden. I have mulitple ones but one you wouldn't be able to see is my sight difficulties, because I wear spectacles, people wouldn't know I am blind in one eye and have very limited vision in the other, and some people get very confused as to why someone would have specs and a white stick. A friend of mine has crippling Crohn's and has to wear nappies along with a host of other problems, and guess what, she doesn't advertise it. And the biggest, hidden, disabilities are often severe mental health problems and neuro-divergent conditions. Again, not everyone would shout about these. Indeed I knew someone who had such severe Schizophrenia she would gleefully tell the assessment board she was capable of doing literally everything, and had nothing wrong with her at all.

I really respect your honesty and you are explaining the position of disabled people so eloquently and gently. Thank you for being candid, you are able to put things across far better than I, and you can see the viewpoint from both sides.
