What is it?

Disability?

Unique traits

Hidden strengths

Qualities, makes one stand out,

Disability

I find that disability is looked upon as something lacking or incomplete. I don’t agree with this assumption. At times when things are lacking, one must search the resources they possess to compensate and make things possible. Those are the moments that unique traits prevail and hidden strengths are put to practice. Disability, in all forms doesn’t have to be permanent. It takes effort to move past an inability and it’s worth the discovery of who you are.

Beautifully told, yes, it is not a deficit but rather different gifting.
