Yes, Yes and Yes. By lending their skills and talents to contribute to economic growth.

My answer is Yes!!!. Here are a few links, that I'd want everyone to check out.

  1. List of U.S. Presidents who were PwDs: http://www.lincinc.org/disability-in-history-u-s-presidents/
  2. List of a few World Leaders who were PwDs:https://www.disabled-world.com/disability/awareness/famous/leaders-pollies.php

We can see that there are a good number of leaders who led their respective people with their respective disabilities. They are more than capable of contributing to the Country's growth, in fact, they are capable of leading a country too.

@Christo I didn't know the list of US Presidents with disabilities was that extensive. I have written on F.D.Roosevelt but I never thought they were that many. Thanks for this. I wish other countries can give a chance to leaders with disabilities given the amount of awareness we have now on disability unlike them who treated disability with alot of secrecy due to societal disdain of disability back then. wow.
