Good Lord... Is the Disability Rights Movement, or any form of accommodating disabled people so that they can live a reasonably normal life, really so rare in fiction that it's Too Rare to Trope? In 2019?
There's nothing listed in Category:Disability Tropes for this.
There's plenty on getting rid of disabilities (mostly by completely unrealistic methods), using disabilities as points of humour, or killing off disabled characters... but is there really no trope about treating disabled people as (relatively) equal people who just need a bit of help?
Please tell me I'm missing something obvious and there's a trope that I've overlooked.
