Collectively, these findings advocate for a broader perspective...that considers both the individual’s impairments and the biases of potential social partners.
That fact that I am different might be an impairment in a social situation, but that does not mean my difference is the impairment. The impairment is the other person's bias or ignorance (lack of knowledge) as evidenced in the absence of the broader perspective being suggested.
