What does disable mean then because I was told that I have a disability and that I am not disabled because I can still do anything but I would just have to work harder to do it. Disabled means not able to no matter how hard you try.
Very true. I think "disadvantaged" would be a better term. There used to be a term "handicapped" which I think was very apt, if used in the golfing sense of the word, but I gather it's considered offensive these days.
