How do you get to that job?

Public transit or taxi/ride share? Lots of people with medical conditions where you can't drive work just fine. Also if you live in a city you can probably walk to work.

Also even with seizures you can drive if you're on medication and haven't had one in a while.

How do those people get to the store or to the doctor?

Someone else goes to the store for them. Or they get driven to a dr appt. Sometimes 'disabled' really is more debilitating than people expect.

Sure. But a lot of times it’s not. As a counter point, I have a relative with cerebral palsy that has a shockingly normal life for as disabled as she seems to me. In a lot of ways it’s terrifying to see her getting around but she lives a very full life. People, in spite of disabilities, need not just be warehouses until they die.
