"Disabled people are expected to 1) cope cheerfully and positively accept their role as #disabled person; 2) pull ourselves together, minimizing the effect of #disability on our activities & colleagues; 3) strive to improve our condition & “get well” (if you think this seems diametrically opposed to expectation 1, you’re not the only one); 4) look after yourself with as little support as possible; 5) focus on recovery to return to or maintain employment"
