Sure. I have multiple mental disabilities. My feelings towards them are complex and I don't know if "suffering" or "not suffering" is the right terminology. However, to better include the experiences of people who don't feel like they're suffering, instead of saying Ryan "suffered from" this learning/coordination disability, we can just say he "had" it. We're losing some pizzazz, the article flows slightly worse (similar issues with passive voice), but in exchange we're making people feel more welcome.

We're not negating the experience of people who do feel like they're suffering. We're just not lifting their experience up above the experience of those who don't feel that way.
