Used Book in Good Condition
The thing is people with disabilities are sick of people calling them heros for accomplishing stuff people do all the time. Wouldn't you be mad if every time you cooked for yourself or did something that people do everyday, everyone around you congratulated you and said how inspirational you are? It's extremely patronizing.
There's tons of articles and books about it (since disability studies and gender studies have lots of overlap they are generally researched in the same department at universities so don't be alarmed if a majority of the ones you find are written by academic feminists or women and gender studies professors).
