I can address something here. Until I met my Ami, I hadn't been accepted for my abelness, or lack there of. I won't talk about our sex life, that is private, but I can say, she is the only one who has ever said I am fine, just the way I am.
I am fortunate enough to qualify for the lift access anywhere I need or want to go. There is a large differently abled population here where we are, and companies for the most part have wheel chair access. Of course its illegal to use a powered wheelchair on the side walks here, dumb beyond belief.
The stores we use have power carts, except Aldees, at least it's small and I can walk that far.
Does this give me more privilege because we're in a place that has these accommodations? Perhaps, there is still so much more to do for the community.
