The assumption that non-disabled are the norm

That's because they kind of fucking *are*.

I have a hearing loss. I knew exactly ZERO other hearing impaired children or teenagers growing up, and even today, I know no-one in the Deaf/HOH community.

+1 and thank you

I'm not about to go and be a raging shitlord at anyone because they have a medical condition that means they can't walk, hear, see, play sports, control tics, so on and so forth. but this idea that there's no such thing as a baseline normal expectation for a human being is getting out of control.

I had a course in English literature at Uni where we had a text about "queercripped" readings of classic texts. One of the examples was Snow White: The author basically said the fact that the queen wished for a little girl with certain aesthetically pleasing physical traits instead of wishing for a disabled and some-sort-of-queer child was an example of ableism.
I couldn't take anything in that text seriously after that part.

I am glad someone said this.

I wear glasses, and yes, I have known a fair few people who also have vision problems, including the whole of my immediate family. I still have bad eyesight though and know that having 20/20 vision is better. I don't get upset if someone calls bad vision bad, I only expect they won't insult me for wearing glasses.
