October/November 2021 By Jordan Reed Interabled Couples Share How They Make Their Relationships Work When one partner has a disability and the other doesn't, or both partners have disabilities, the relationship may face challenges. These couples share how they deal with them. Allan McEnroe and Emma Muldoon enjoy a drink at a cafe in Edinburg, Scotland. Courtesy Visit Scotland After communicating online for several months, Emma Muldoon and Allan McEnroe planned to meet in person, a prospect that prompted Muldoon's decision to tell him about her disability. She wrote him a heartfelt email but worried that it would dissuade him from meeting her. McEnroe remembers feeling emotional after reading her message, but only because he imagined how hard it must have been for her to write it. “He quickly reassured me that my disability made no difference to him,” says Muldoon, who was diagnosed with limb-girdle Both were nervous about meeting, but the day couldn't have gone better. McEnroe drove to pick up Muldoon, who was 20 at the time, and carefully placed her wheelchair in the trunk of his car.

As they turned a tight corner, McEnroe instinctively put his arm across Muldoon to stop her from falling to the side because of her poor upper-body strength. “This was our first time out together, but somehow he knew to do that for me even though I had never made him...

Some people, including people who would conventionally be categorized as disabled, use phrases like "differently abled" to refer to disabled people. This phrase is used because it supposedly humanizes disabled people by focusing on our abilities rather than on our impairments. Those who prefer the phrase "differently abled" often see the terms "disabled" or "disability" as potentially hurtful or offensive. "Dis" means "not," so the argument goes, so calling someone "disabled" must mean that a person is "unable to do anything," "incapable of ever doing anything functional or useful or desirable either by others or by themselves," and therefore, it is wrong to call people disabled. Speaking from a purely objective standpoint, we as humans are all differently abled from one another. Some people are better at math than other people. Some people are better at public speaking than other people. Some people are better at cooking or even remembering to cook than other people. Some people walk and some do not, and of those people who do walk, not everyone walks in the same way.When referring to groups of people, there is nothing inaccurate with saying that within the group, each person is differently abled. This is true regardless of how many disabled people are in the group or if there are no disabled people in the group. The problem arises when the term "differently abled" is used to refer to an individual disabled person. Firstly, calling someone "differently abled" is euphemist...
