Can we agree that being disabled doesn’t give you permission to ask me what my disability is or how did I get it if we are strangers/don’t know one another very well? You’re still asking me to share my personal medical info. I don’t ask disabled people why they’re disabled. Not even if they’re my friends, honestly. They can share it with me if they want to, but it’s not up to me to decide for them when and why. Being disabled doesn’t grant me that right.
There are so many other topics we can use as ice breakers. Humor about disability is fine. But let’s not dig into something that personal and/or traumatic.
My 2 cents.
