This is the story of one parent’s desire to let his son define disability for himself, instead of letting the world define it for him. By focusing on a story involving a lack of childcare solely because of who the child is, the speaker provides a compelling argument against static processes that seek to reduce disabled people down to descriptors and categories, and instead envisions a world where people are defined for who they are instead of who they’re not.
