Noone ever said the label had to be a conscious one.

That's called thinning the herd. The imaginary 14 year old in your
example didn't have what it takes (Sometimes that's just luck) to do what
he thought was cp. The question is what does he do after the accident.
Loss of mobility does not mean loss of ability. Just makes his path
different and if he really learned what he needed to then there's a
chance for him. If not I'd be sorry for him that he didn't die.
