yep, disabilty culture is definitely there, and its diferent. For one thing it does have in common with Deaf culture is the significance of sports. However, in a scholarly sense, it would surely be interesting to know which is 'more advanced' and which is more 'suppressed'? the linguisitic minority or the sub-culture of deviant (for a lack of better word, ouch)

It's like you go to the beach. It's a little cold. You're not sure you want to go in. There's a pretty girl standing next to you. She doesn't want to go in either. She sees you, and you know that if you just asked her her name, you would leave with her. Forget your life, whoever you came with, and leave the beach with her. And after that day, you remember. Not every day, every week... she comes back to you. It's the memory of another life you could have had. Today is that girl.
