Makes sense, that folks have been fooling themselves since the '70s. It was that kind of decade.

It's a simple concept. How can I help you understand it?

It's created large amounts of social change. American disability law derives from it, for one example.

Here's a cite from UK goverment mentioning the social model: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/2010-to-2015-gove...

> We encourage the use of the social model as a way of understanding disability. It says that disability is created by barriers in society.

> The barriers generally fall into 3 categories:

> the environment – including inaccessible buildings and services

> people’s attitudes – stereotyping, discrimination and prejudice

> organisations – inflexible policies, practices and procedures

You probably need to be aware of this, because not being aware of it creates a risk if you ever have any management role.

Of course I'm aware of it. But redefining well-known terms is a sign of groupthink, common among activist group. By pretending words mean a whole new thing, we can identify the in group, and humiliate the out group. I won't participate in that hallucination.

A disability is when you have less ability than everybody else. We can mitigate that by addressing {everything you list above}.

What percentile?
