This does however miss one major factor in life, that is, that at some time or
another, we all are all disabled. Some for a short time but many others, more
permanently such as in old age.
I shall be unlikely to change gender, although some do, I shall also be unlikely to
change colour. My disability needs however will change as I move through life. Is it
not in the interests of us all to be involved in disability research.
