“I’ve watched people – mostly people who consider themselves to be supporters of disability rights – react to me as my ability to control my body deteriorated again and I slowly slipped across whatever lines they were using to mark the boundary between “high-functioning” and “low-functioning.” A lot of them can’t handle it. If they’re very polite they make some kind of excuse, but either way most of them are no longer in my life.”
