I think the question of "pride" is an important one. The idea that society should try to be helpful/fair to people who face obstacles seems pretty obvious. But in the article you say to be proud of having a disability. That makes no sense to me. Be proud of how you cope with the obstacles - yes. Be proud of what you accomplish, despite the obstacles - yes. But being proud of having a malfunctioning speech system ?? is that really what you meant to say?
