Inspiration Porn and the Objectification of Disability

Stella Young gave this TED talk in Sydney, Australia this year about some of the mistakes we're making concerning our expectations of disabled people. In her opinion, we are giving disabled people too much credit for "getting out of bed and remembering their own name". From her own experiences she believes that by telling disabled people awards and assigning them inspirational quotes, that we are objectifying them as people with terrible lives who are defined by their disability rather than their accomplishments. At first I was a little skeptical of her speech because it sounded harsh and biased but by the end of the speech I could see her point. What makes a man with one leg who manages to take the garbage out every day more exceptional than a physically whole man who goes to work and raises a family? I guess the point is that we all have our disabilities and obstacles to overcome but we objectify those whose disabilities are obvious. There are many sides to this debate. What's your opinion?
