"Our disabilities are not flaws to be fixed, but integral parts of our identities that shape our unique perspectives and strengths. I wish people knew that we're not defined solely by our disabilities. We're whole, complex individuals with dreams, talents, and contributions to make. By embracing neurodiversity and disability as natural variations of the human experience, we can unlock the full potential of our society.” -Kim Chua As Disability Pride Month comes to a close, NPR compiled several first-person narratives of audience members living with disabilities. It's a great read! https://lnkd.in/gfR5egBs
