Considering writing pieces about mobility accessibility

Advice

I'm considering writing a series of vignettes about mobility impairment. The general theme is society can be benignly indifferent or insufficient about accomodations with mobility being a representative of disability in general.

The general format is a moment in the characters daily life when there disability is not accommodated by society or insufficiently accomodated.

Other characters offer compassion, misguided assistance, indifference, hostility or a mixture of the above.

Society is unchanged by each vignette, perhaps one person is changed or a business makes changes but for the most part will not be revisited in later stories.

Personally, I am not mobility impaired. I am affected by color-blindness but that isn't enough material to do more than one or two stories. I'm considering if this is my story to tell or not.
