One stereotype defines people and characters with disabilities entirely through their disability, both in their own thoughts and in their role in a literary plot. Another stereotype defines the disabled, dehumanizingly, as nonsexual. Yet another stereotype reduces people and characters with disabilities to the inspiration they provide others simply by living their daily lives, as if nondisabled people did not also design the world around them to fit their own circumstances.
