Not parent, but I would say their experience, even though severely impaired in many areas, is still infinitely more embodied than any human artifact is or even conceivably could be. Simply because the millions of years of embodied evolution which have shaped them into who they are and because of the unimpaired embodiment of most of the cells that make up their organism.
