Need to include content from extremely talented people[edit]

I've seen inspiration porn of handicapped people being able to achieve spectacular things though they had really favorable circumstances to do this. It puts an expectation that people with disabilities can also be stars or achieve huge things in spite of their disabilities and has that pressure of destroying self-confidence if they don't. It's good intentions but I think in reality most people with handicaps don't have those spectacular achievements and often slip through the cracks and struggle and then get fed these stories. --It's-a me, Lgm sigpic.png 🎄LeftyGreenMario!🎄 19:02, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
