I get the point you're trying to make, but as someone with multiple disabilities, both mental and physical, I can't help but feel an icky taste in my mouth after saying "disability pride". As if my brain damage, anxiety or cerebral palsy, to mention a few, is something to be proud of, rather than something to work on overcoming, in order to live my best life.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying one should be ashamed of ones disabilities, not acknowledge ones limitations and be comfortable with that, but to have them as an object of pride seems counter productive at best.
