There are two types of physical disabilities: congenital and acquired. Congenital means the person is born with it. Acquired means that sometime after the person was born, something happened that resulted in a disability.
A congenital defect is a physical or biochemical abnormality that is present from birth. It can be due to genetic factors, prenatal exposure to harmful substances, or environmental factors during pregnancy. These defects can affect different parts of the body and vary in severity.
I would say congenital would be something one is born with or inherit. Acquired perhaps due to maybe an accident.
Either type of disability brings challenges. But only from the viewpoint of onset, a congenital disability is present AT birth; an acquired occurs anytime after birth, at any age. Children with congenital disabilities learn ways to compensate. They adapt quickly. They've never known anything but the disability. But when someone is 20, 30, 40 and becomes permanently disabled, they must grieve their former self while trying to accept their new limitations, but unable to fully give up the idea they will return to their former abilities. Eventually, resignation and acceptance must meet up with each other; the person has to find some middle ground in order to live with acquired disability.
