Please do not do this. It comes across very insulting and suggests that adults only like things if they are disabled. Sometimes adults just like things. This idea that you have to give up liking certain things because you're "too old" is discouraging and demeaning.

I still like plenty of things "for kids," including Flight Rising. I'm not disabled, and even if I were, that wouldn't have to be the reason I like it.

I'm sorry if this comes across poorly or mean-spiritedly, that isn't my intent.

DA

Yes to all this (and I don't think it came across as mean fwiw), and implying that disabled people like kids stuff because they're disabled is infantilizing and plays into the bs concept of 'mental age'. Disabled adults are still adults. I liked Winnie the Pooh when I was 3 and I'll like him when I'm 30 lol, it's valid and would still be valid if I weren't disabled
