Yeah, it seems to do more harm than good to turn a disability into an identity. I totally get that nobody wants to feel "broken" and it probably makes some people feel better to say there's nothing at all wrong with them, but it becomes an issue when it leads to attacks against people who want to help others overcome their limitations or people who want their own limitations overcome.
If I could give my children even small relatively insignificant advantages, or help them avoid some of the struggles I've had to overcome I'd want to.
