Ok, I work in a government service that take complaints about government 
provided/funded services. Our jurisdiction is child protection, substitute care 
and disability services. Most of the people I work with/for/on behalf 
of/whatever who have a disability are have limited verbal skills or are 
non-verbal, are mostly or completely physically dependant on others for their 
daily needs, have limited ability to legally consent etc ....

So just *maybe* I'm taking this all too seriously <g>

ie I think you are both right

Ebony said, re PWDs

<<<I think that magical ability *could* show up in children/adults
with mental and physical challenges.  If Harry is myopic, I'm sure
there could be blind witches and wizards.  If Eloise has acne,
perhaps an autistic child could have great talent in Potions-
making.>>>

I agree with the last point in particular, since autistic children
are often noted for being prodigious in a single area.

In the magical world, I imagine being a squib is on a par with
dyslexia or even blindness.  That is, if we regard magical
ability as being something pitched between a skill and a
sense.
