Writing disabled characters?

Hm, I have been trying to write a character. Her name is Alessa and due to an accident shattered her knee and it never truly healed right. However as I normally have very energetic characters, she is a bit hard for me to write, as she is physically not capable of doing some thing.

 

Heck, my main OC has several mental disorders. Hannah White has Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, High-Functioning Autism, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. 14 in the current story, and she's friends with Lindsey Stirling, who in fact, has an actual learning disorder called Cross Dominance, which is a version of Dxylesia (don't know the actual spelling).

 

I had a character with Bipolar, NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder), and PTSD. As a result he was very unpredictable and found it difficult to form interpersonal relationships, intense mood swings, and severe impulsiveness. He wanted to make friends, really, but people would find it hard to keep up with him.

 

Hm... I have two that I mentioned in Pokémon Resonance.

The first is Emma, a blind Espeon that was once human. As a human, she could see through the eyes of her Growlithe, but with her Growlithe killed by the hands of the ones who turned her into an Espeon to begin with, she now relies on Future Sight to see the world around her.

The second is a Trainer named Carol. Unlike Emma, she was born with the inability to speak. Instead of using her voice, she speaks to her Pokémon with her mind, allowing her to command them in battle.

I also have one that I was planning to introduce as the protagonist of a PMD spin off of Pokémon Resonance called PMD Dissonance. The story is following an optimistic human-turned-Mareep named Ashelyn who travels with a human hating Treecko named Lin, and an energetic Charmander named Haruto. I can't remember what her disability was, but I think I was planning on autism since it is something have myself. I also vaguely remember starting this PMD story somewhere, but I can't remember anything except how the story starts.

 

I have written three disabled characters, specifically when I made a long Pokémon-related series called Earth's Protectors in which the Pokémon are either superheroes/super villains. These particular characters I introduced in the final arc of the first story were the gen 5 monkey trio, specifically their second forms. And yeah, much like the main series itself, I based them on the three wise monkeys, giving Simipour the inability to speak, making Simisage deaf and Simisear blind. (Yeah, I know I technically gave them each the wrong disability, but something worth note is that this story doesn't really follow Pokémon series logic. After all, it takes place in a reality where a punch or a kick can hurt a ghost type) And even then, the idea behind them in the story is that they're veteran fighters who teach the main character's trainers, specifically Aipom, to fight by having her face them all in combat while proving that their disabilities don't exactly make them weaklings. You can actually read the chapter in question right here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11576837/24/Earth-s-Protectors-The-Ultimate-World-Team-Tournament Though the entire story was posted in the literature section quite some time ago. (I think the sequel is still on the first page. I haven't checked in a while, so probably not)

 

She uses a crutch to get around if her injury plays up again, but a walking stick if she feels her leg can support her for the distances she is going to walk that day. Alessa is one of my Pokémon OC, and she has a “ride Pokémon” in Arcanine if she needs to travel longer distances as she cannot handle that. She is not a Trainer, as she physically is not capable of keeping up with her peers in that regard.

 

I'm tying to write about a character who once had a voice but after a traumatic accident lost her voice. It's harder than it looks since she's still a human with feelings and I don't want to be offensive to anyone who's like that.
