My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn't prevent you doing well, and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit, as well as physically.

Those qualities that separate us are often ridiculed by others or criticized by teachers.

I've worked in several different places, most of my experience comes from spending eight summers at a camp for adults with a wide range of disabilities.
