Fine by me! I don't know a single disabled person who likes that kind of thing—it's patronizing at best and downright infantilizing at worst. Rather than applauding people who take a little longer to put their shoes on in the morning but are ultimately just trying to live their life, it'd be nice to see that attitude transformed into a broader push towards a more accessible world.
(I'm disabled and certainly not a hero. I don't think I'm even particularly nice.)
