A valuable perspective that alludes to a troubling phenomenon: discourses around disability often cater to the comfort of the abled.

Abled people don't want to accept that disabled people might require care beyond exercise and a change of mindset. It's disturbing to them that somebody (potentially them one day) could be in such a vulnerable position, and it potentially calls for costly support beyond these minimalist interventions.
