Just to recap:

• Dory’s disability isn’t treated like a character flaw by the writers
  
• People who (even subconsciously) view it as a character flaw are the ones who end up learning and changing
• She sees herself as a burden because of her disability and the ultimate response is “We were wrong to make you feel that way and we love you the way you are”
• Her disability isn’t magically cured and doesn’t preclude her or her loved ones from being happy even though it makes certain things more challenging
• Her parents aren’t overly sheltering and teach her to be self-sufficient in ways that work with her brain
• The people around her realize that her mind is never going to work the same way theirs do, and that’s okay
• She’s treated as deserving of patience and respect
• She stays disabled throughout the entire movie

Finding Dory is so important.
