I don’t think the sole feeling of independence was dangerous for him, but maybe feeling too independent (almost rebellious) could have lead to some irresponsible actions, reckless risk-taking or give him the courage to neglect and ignore his disability. It’s good to feel independent, but also be able to acknowledge one’s weaknesses or struggles and ask for help or use helpful devices (just to be both independent and rational).
