I'd be careful to not play into a popular cultural storyline that is "woe is me" or anything that would portray us as victims because we aren't. I think there is so much attention on oppressor/oppressed ideology out there in academia and it isn't good for anyone! It's causing alot of hate in the world, violence, a culture of victims, intolerance for anyone that isn't in your political echo chamber, and making groups of people identify themselves to create otherness. So with that said, I would highlight all of the successful people with invisible disabilities - asthma (Martin Scorsese), neurodivergent (Albert Einstein), and speech (James Earl Jones). I'd offer alot is managed through therapies and medication. And because these "extras" are invisible, it is a reminder that one never knows what another person is going through. A smile can literally turn someone else's day around. You can recommend the school make a "buddy bench". I have seen these be added to k-12 schools and they are a lifesaver for all of the disabilities I listed above. Also the golden rule is a good one to site in your article - do unto others as you would like done unto yourself". Good luck with your article and let us know how it turns out.
