Deciphering Disabilities

I was thinking about this today, there are so many disabilities out there & so many different groups out there raising money for specfic causes. Whether it be MS, Cerebral Palsy or Autism to many others it seems as if the disability community is very splintered. I have always felt that regardless of the disability we (i.e. the proverbal WE) have a shared expierence in terms of societal treatment. Whether accessibility issues, medical or just plain discrimination most people that I've come across have similar stories to share. While someone like me doesn't share the same symptomology as say someone with aspergers we do share at times similar psychological pangs. A feeling of alienation, not looking what is considered "normal". I could go on, BUT I believe that we must begin to respond as a community - a community that isd wonderful tapestry of both different & shared expierences...What does everyone else think?
