Re: Does he have a point?
FYI, my wife has a debilitating illness not recognised as a "disability" due to it´s rarity.
So, as long as she manages herself very carefully indeed, she manages to work some hours of each day.
The remaining hours usually constitute managing very high pain levels often with very strong medication.
Her alternative whilst living in Spain (she´s Spanish) is to exist with zero funding what so ever.
I´m sorry to hear your wife suffers also.

Re: Does he have a point?
A very sensitive subject so I´ll tread carefully.
I would only employ a person with the required skill set, be them able bodied or disabled, and provided any disability would in no way incur extra costs or work for others. This might sound harsh but as a business owner, I have a responsibility to the running of my business, myself and anyone that might work for me.
I also understand there are many jobs in the market place that simply don´t require fully able bodied people.. In such cases, the job is worth a salary that should be paid equally to any person doing the job.
With that said, isn´t the term "disabled" too much of an umbrella term for any of us to actually know what we´re talking about?
