I've noticed, that most of people, who yell louder than anyone else of how we need disabled sims are NOT disabled. Most of them.
EA says they talk to disabled people, buuut... I think, that they just need to talk to some random disabled people and find out, what they think, not like activists or whoever. Because it's pretty obvious, that disabled activists would love it, but not too many people become activists, there are so many more, who don't.
And again, any disease, or disorder, or disability in most cases is a personal pain. All we need to do is accept those people and erase the line between them and us, healthy (or almost healthy) people not to make them feel "different" and alienated. And it's not about spreading sparkles above someone's head because he's in a wheelchair. It's about not paying any attention to the fact he's in a wheelchair.
In my country we used to have a very cool social advertising commercial on TV and every video was filmed as a little story, when you see a talented person, surrounded by loving friends and family, and get to know that person, and only in the end you see, that they are disabled. I remember one about a boy on stage called "school rock star", then the show's over and all the school boys and girls carry him in their arms and honor him, but then they get to their classroom and put him back to his wheelchair. And every video used to end with their slogan, smth like "Everyone is special. And there's no difference, if he's disabled or not. Because people are not divided that way".
