“We are all handicapped … all carrying the weight of our self‐centredness, our fears, our incapacity to communicate, our difficulties in generosity. If we could realise that these are not the normal and the abnormal, but just people going along at different speeds … And if only those who think they are normal could unite and create homes and schools for those who are wounded!” Jean Vanier, L'Arche, 1964.
