I belong to quite a few Facebook groups based around disability, and I’ve noticed one topic in particular that keeps coming up – and that’s romance. It's no surprise I think. From childhood, people are convinced by book and movie writers that it's the ultimate dream; find a handsome Prince (or pretty Princess!), get married, live happily ever after.
