An illness can cause a disability but a disability is not an illness. People with disabilities can get sick but people with disabilities are not always sick.
A disease can cause a disability but a disability is not a disease. A disability can be a barrier, an obstacle, a pain in the butt, but not an affliction.
Believe me. We are not a sick society.
