I don’t know of many disabled people that have accomplished things in the fields that I am interested in which I guess is quite sad.
That said I am not into social media or following people.One person that does come to mind for me is Stephen Hawking. -
Micheal J Fox. Having grow up in the 1980s watching his films, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's early in the 1990's.
He didn't let that stop him, continuing with acting and setting up a foundation in order to advance research.
