Hot take
If youre just doing disability representation for "diversity", then I don't think you'd care about disability at all. You just want something to feel good about yourself for.
As a disabled person myself. I feel like good representation comes from creating an original character for an existing world, but not making their disability the entire personality. Don't make your characters one note. Especially if they're disabled, queer, Latino or a person of color.
If you are gonna headcannon an existing character as disabled, don't just stick em in a wheelchair or slap a cane on their character png, do research, teach yourself a thing or two! Reach out to a friend or family member!
