Wrong Body, Wong Place
Bodies with impairments considered unnatural
Bodies with impairments do things a little differently
Differences in the body often mean these individuals are rejected and "out of place" in non-disabled spaces

Different Timings and Spaces
When preforming daily tasks within the home and workplace, they consider their impairment when managing time and space
Tasks often take longer than what is seen as 'normal' to individuals without impairments
There is fear associated with not keeping up with non-disabled expectations
The way they do things is often viewed as troublesome or "disruptive" to the typical way of going about things
Feel as though they are required to do more to be viewed as equal

Attempting to convert the body to something 'normal' through interventions
