Article on media treatment of people with disabilities after the ADA was enacted in 1990.
A quote from the article:
"In the mind of the public and the media, there are 'legitimate' and 'worthy' disabilities, usually those visible to the naked eye, such as mobility impairments and blindness. At the other end of the spectrum, there are the 'undeserving disabled,' people who are thought to be to blame for their conditions."
