SMSDating can be tough for many people, but for adults with disabilities, research shows finding love can be especially difficult.
SHOW TRANSCRIPT
Today's dating scene can be emotionally exhausting and puts a premium on physical attraction. However, people with disabilities can have an especially difficult time finding a relationship.
The New York Times says those with disabilities have a lower rate of marriage compared to the general population. They also fight the misconception that disabilities hamper sexuality and interest in seeking a partner.
