ABSTRACT
This chapter shows how two important legacies emerging out of these beliefs still influence our ideas about disability, and how these legacies are an example of passive exclusion. It explores the experiences of different disabled identities, the tensions and issues these identities produce. The chapter attempts to rationalize the cultural identities. Attention Deficit Hypertension Disorder is one such behavioral condition and is increasingly being diagnosed as a quasi-medical condition in Western countries. The students who mixed on their tables were also more likely to have mixed with other non-disabled people in their early years. These students were also more likely to have non-disabled friends, or a husband or wife. One of the biggest dangers of the world of passive exclusion and the acceptance of a disabled identity is, this world can over-emphasize disability as a political and social issue, rather than a practical and individual issue.
