Born with Ocular Albinism which limits what she can see beyond 1-meter, Caroline Casey was never told she couldn't see. Irrational Faith in oneself may be necessary to reach your full potential. Such belief in oneself inspires actions that one would not attempt from an attitude of self-pity. Society may be artificially limiting the potential of physically disabled people (1-billion world wide) via labeling. Solution: expect the same level of accomplishment from everyone, regardless of any 'dis-ability', and don't discriminate. (my question here is if everyone had Ocular Albinism would we create technology to adapt our eyes, just as elephants have larger ears and noses, or would we evolve better eyes?)
