This song, as most Morrissey songs, isn't as literal as it sounds. The fact that it appears to be about a Disabled person doesn't literally mean that it is.
It's about people doing stupid things in the name of lust;
"A symbol of where mad, mad lovers
Must PAUSE and draw the line."
It's about people being born without love and parents that don't love or care for them etc.
The fact the she is Disabled means that it makes it harder for half-hearted parents to love her.
It's a song about despising the fact, literally, that you were born and never feel loved.
