Many people are willing to adopt the social model and to make adjustments for those who have a visible disability. However, they are not as accommodating with those who have a hidden disability, or a disability that is not clearly
This is something that people who were traditionally raised know relatively nothing of, which gives a sort of advantage to those who were raised in the streets by letting them adapt to tough situations more easily. However, the second part (“But all the wrong things, not the things you want to learn.”) explains how these subjects usually aren’t what someone would want to have to know, “the wrong things.” We could assume that having to learn about certain things can prevent someone from seeking to know about many others, regardless of their interests or the positive ways in which it could affect them.
