If educational qualification and earning outcome are construed as prerequisite for assessing 'inclusion' of the disabled,then certainly the marriage with non-disabled has more currency to foster inclusion. We could invoke Ambedkar here who advocated for inter-caste marriages for ending the scars of casteism. So one could argue that procreate with non-disabled and feel included... Moreover, We have several states offering incentives to those disabled who are entering in to wedlock with non-disabled people. I'm sure such state-patronage is inspired by the idea that such support would propel greater inclusion of the disabled people.
