"I am giving myself permission to post things that are not comprehensive works of nigh-perfection" And a good thing -- because otherwise we might never hear from you.
It certainly gets complicated. And there seems to be a range of how differently-abled people themselves feel. While it's true that we all have challenges, some challenges are more normative than others, which makes it easier. And how much adapting do you have to do to accommodate people who might be extremely few in number? I generally think it's best to learn from people who are actually in the position -- such as the post you quoted. Or better yet, from friends in your own community. Unfortunately, few of us have a wide range of conveniently different friends (varied ethnicities, races, orientations, abilities, etc).

Kudos for broadening the diversity discussion :)
