Normalising disability

[sammason]

If you use a wheelchair or any other equipment for your disability, how do you feel if somebody says you're 'normalising your disability'? If that person calls it an 'achievement' to leave the equipment behind? If that person writes to your doctor with per judgement about you? If that person is a professional employed by the main support organisation for your condition?

Do you do anything about it?

This is a real story and the person to whom it happened might read this thread. I hope phe won't mind that I tell the story here.
