It is interesting how those old exceptions made for Bradstreet are so often paralleled in other arenas ... see, successful people with disabilities, for instance.
I think one of the reasons there is so much pressure on PWD to quote overcome unquote disability is so that TABS can feel justitified in no longer having to think about disability and identity. This occurs to me everytime someone says to me "But you aren't like other blind people" or something similar: after a while people think of you as the anomaly that still proves the rule.

She fled as dawn approached.
Dawn as a slowly opening eye.
White sea birds skimming over the water,
looking for an early morning snack.
The mirror brightens.
From a blood moon at dawn to a mirror
reflecting waking life...
#######
I woke her to take the moon.
Her campaign was swift and terrible.
Metallic and fierce.
Glaring up in the twilight.
But the moon was both implacable and unreachable
and in the end the war against the moon failed.
As dawn rose slowly from her bed, the moon slipped away.
But in the end, all that was lost,
was a little sleep....
