My mistake in focusing on ability in a meeting of the disabled

Focusing on ability rather than disability is productive thinking, but I'm thinking that thinking this way can be a mistake when I asserted that focusing on ability is important in meetings  discussing disabilities.

Participating in the meetings of city developmental support center consisting of young adults with developmental disorders, I was a little bit uncomfortable when some participants focus too much on their disabilities, difficulties, and problems. I wanted rather to focus on our advantages in spite of our developmental uniqueness, which in my later reflection I found many adults with developmental disorders have difficulty in finding.

Probably my mistake has been escaping from and turning my blind eyes to the existence of disabilities and problems with them. My way of thinking also lacks the understanding of people with disabilities, which our group has required from people, communities, society.

The problem with disabilities should be well considered and taken care of. Without solution of the problems, we can't fully take advantage of abilities.
