ragdoll-ren:

tldr I was looking up the classification system for cerebral palsy (GMFCS) and part of the 2nd level is “climbing stairs with the use of a railing” which just about knocked me out. Ableds… are you not… using railings? it’s right there? this is trying to tell me it’s abled culture Not to use the railing?

Are you physically able-bodied and do you use the handrail on the stairs?

I am able-bodied and use the handrail always/almost always (ex: hands are full)

I am able-bodied and never use the handrail/only use in certain cases (tag them)

I am disabled and want to click a button/show results

See Results

(use your best judgement as to whether or not abledness applies to you here. mostly I mean disabilities that would have some impact on stair-climbing, natch. chronic pain/fatigue counts, but, like, d/Deafness wouldn’t, you get me?)

Before my motor control got wrecked I would maybe a third of the time but unless it was an exceptionally steep stairway it was almost an affectation or to hold me to the railing side laterally while I made large or fast steps, nothing like I do now.
