Was Wilbur Wright Disabled?

 Would not even think to ask this if my brother didn't give me a book of David  McCollough's writing called "History Matters" that made some mention that the aviation pioneer suffered health setbacks after a hockey accident he had as a teenager.  The historian makes special note of Wilbur's interest in ornithology, which might have fueled wing design.  Even more than now, maybe he would not want to identify as a disabled person, but here's what they write atThe Wrights' birthplace.  Not to be That Person, with "Everything happens for a reason," but I suppose that we should keep in mind that we learn, even when things look slow...you never know.
