It's surprisingly difficult, isn't it? at least for me, that is. I think one of the problems is that there simply aren't that many canon chars with disabilities and I can't really identify/am terrified I'll screw up when it comes to newly acquired ones (being a since-birth/learning to talk disabled girl myself and therefore not being able to empathise that much with acquiring a new disability). Although thankfully my current canon (X-men) has some disabled chars. And I've been playing with blind!Scott fics and aus in my head for ages.
Maybe there's room for something like what people are doing wrt race over on dark_agenda - writing a CND char as always having had a some disability and seeing how it would affect canon.
