And yet, I am in agreement with those in the disabled community who would portend that, no matter how it arrives, disability will arrive for everyone, sooner or later. In a way, this vastly disparate category is the most universal condition of all—the horizon of it is just closer to some than others. It is always there, and the question is not if but when it will arrive for you. This is not the same as any other political identity. Not everyone on this planet will one day become queer or not white or a woman or colonized, but they will become disabled.
