The disabled junkie who wrote 'Requiem for a dream' married 3 times and had 4 children
#1
According to Wikipedia, the guy spent most of his 20's bedridden, with parts of his lungs removed. He was frail, on disability and later became a serious junkie.

During that time, he married and had two children, long before he was famous. He remarried two times.

I have some hangup about the handicapped

Namely, while normal people would say "Good for him, that he still did something great, despite being in a wheelchair," I always think less of them.

Most high achieving disabled people succeed because of the disability, not despite.

I don't think so. The kind of profile he had is still associated with high fertility in today's world.
