There's also a lot of self-delusion, or lying to oneself. I suppose for some people it's necessary to cope with their disabilities. I've seen deaf people say they wouldn't accept hearing for all the money in the world, and that they're not disabled, but rather differently abled. As someone who has gradually lost their hearing I'll tell you that being hard of hearing is absolutely a disability in many ways, not just for communication. It seriously negatively impacts a person's life. Having fewer senses than everyone else doesn't make me differently abled, it makes me disabled, and I would give a whole lot to have normal hearing again.
