Disability culture

Disability culture encompasses such a wide variety of so many different types of art in part because of the incredible diversity of experiences in the disabled community. Disability identity can apply to so many people with vastly different experiences due to the nature of their disabilities. As a result, the disabled community as an entity can appear somewhat disjointed or split into smaller identity groups. Kuppers notes some more broadly unifying qualities of disability culture. The culture stems from a place of encouragement and love and often challenges conceptions of normality. From the excerpt, it seems that most of Kuppers’ understanding of disability culture comes from experiences of physical disabilities, particularly those that affect mobility. I’m curious as to whether her way of defining disability culture is pretty loose but I would like to know if it holds true to the culture of people of all types of disabilities.
