Abstract
The author writes about her experiences as an angry disabled Asian American child attempting to understand a bewildering world. Recounting some of her formative moments, the author connects those experiences to her growing understanding of disability as a social construct. While early memories and experiences centered on changes in mobility, the essay highlights how disability is more than an impairment or medical diagnosis—discrimination, social attitudes and physical barriers can be just as disabling as a congenital condition. To the author, anger, as a primal and destructive force, can be useful in fueling change in one's life
