> without the acknowledgement that we are all on varying levels of "abled"

I get this argument, and I even use it myself (it's great for getting through to people who find empathy hard), but shouldn't this be irrelevant? Even if 5% of people were born disabled, and the remaining 95% were abled for their entire lives, shouldn't disabled people still matter?
