The disability needs to be “ablesplained” by a medical authority—and these explanations often usurp the voice or perspective of the narrator and overwrite their identity in scientific and pathological terms.
'They just ablesplained their delay by using a disabled passenger as an excuse. And it's a disabled passenger I know. You truly cannot make this up.'
