And to reiterate the point of that article posted earlier; is Eliza, a woman who sees herself as less than human, and who can only find acceptance by leaving society, a good depiction of disability?

That society wasn't worth being accepted by. There is no point to her fighting for approval, to be seen as valuable. The "decency" monologue explicitly states what that society sees as valuable, and it isn't anything good. There is more conviction and strength in rejecting that value system and insisting upon your own, as Eliza does. The society she rejects is the one that is broken, less than human.
