What a strange article. I want to believe the author has good intentions but I can't help but feel they're virtue signalling. If one really wanted to understand what disabled people are dealing with, you should volunteer some time at a care home, not pretend to have a disability without understanding what that disability entails or being aware of existing coping strategies and tools for said disabilities.

Most persons with disabilities the author pretended to have would have been able to navigate the situations the author encountered. So what insights have we gained from the authors experience?


> Most persons with disabilities the author pretended to have would have been able to navigate the situations the author encountered.

Care to elaborate? This very thread contains countless anecdotes affirming author's findings.

I also believe it is an obvious virtue signal piece, but to be fair, I also think he exposed some valid cases in that post. Are there really coping strategies and tools for all these problems?

How do you know this?

Also, I downvoted your comment because 'virtue signalling' is non-sense phrase.

Might want to let Oxford know, they'll have to do a reprint
