It's interesting how kids can adapt so naturally. We've got so many preconceived ideas about difficulties.

When I was young there was a deaf kid in our school. We just figured out communication as needed. Kids don't overthink things like adults do. The environment matters, but sometimes we should just let kids figure it out.

they're not preconceived, you didn't have them when you were a child. I think this points to the benefits to their own development (and then to the rest of us) that abled children get from disabilities being mainstreamed as much as is practical.

As soon as you turn 25, they become preconceived. Or probably before that.
