After reading chapter 1 from the book No Pity by Joseph P. Shapiro‚ I am intrigued by how the society has formed the norms‚ "labels" and characteristics for others. What is the actual definition of disabilities? Is there any limitation on what types of physiological and psychological behavior/characteristics to be considered as "disability"?
