Here’s an arthritic irony, & you can use it to understand disabiltity accommodations. I don’t have the hand strength to put on most store bought socks but I can knit my own socks with those same hands. People know best what they need and want help with and it might not be what you think it is.

No surprise as the 🍊💩🤡 did this in his first term too. (just have to say I love that the poop and clown emoji are next to each other, kind of made for you know who). He cannot even stand to hear or look at disabled people.

If you’ve had these thoughts :
My neighbour whose on benefits has a really big TV
My work colleague is faking it exaggerating their “disability”
That persons condition isn’t a genuine disabiltity

One of my reads on bed rest for a few days. To fellow PWDs I can't recommend enough.
