Ash Self: I’m young, vibrant, disabled – why wouldn’t I be having sex?

I’m sure most disabled people my age can attest to people making wild assumptions about us. And it’s not just strangers, but people close to us, too.
They look at me and immediately make snap judgements about what I can and can’t do; and what I should and shouldn’t do. And it’s getting really boring.
