Disability doesn’t mean inability

Saying “my relative is disabled but they’re very smart”, or “they’re disabled but active”, or “my friend is disabled but they’re able” is very ableist.

Disability doesn’t mean inability; and the worth and value of a disabled person shouldn’t depend on how smart, capable or active we are.
