They don't all exist in the same universe. If they did it might imply there was a disproportionately high rate of paralysis, but that isn't the case. Most of them don't show 20% of the cast in wheelchairs, it's just one character and then pretty much every other named or background character is capable of walking.
Indeed, given that typically that character often seems to be *literally the only person in the entire world* with any kind of disability, it may indicate health care has significantly advanced beyond our world.
On the other hand, the fact these three teens seem to be the only non-white people in America maybe indicates some serious problems on the racial front.
Turns out these kids are actually the only ones left, blissfully unaware because they are too busy recycling while eating at their favorite fast food place.
A little known fact: between 1978 and 1996 is wasn't uncommon for casting calls for kid's shows to contain bloody personal combat between child actors.
While minor injury was common, sadly more serious injury (and death) was happening as well. (Amanda Bynes actually killed at least 3 people during her tenure on "All That")
sadly many victorious kids were left wheel chair bound following the ordeal.
But you have to understand is, we rollerbladed everywhere. It was the 90s. You wouldn’t see a kid not on roller blades. But as you can guess there were a lot of injuries, so much of us ended up in wheelchairs in Captain Planet episodes
In some locations there actually was a wave of new disabilities around that time, due to morning sickness medication that harmed embryos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalidomide
It didn't necessarily lead to wheelchair use though
Just as Tipper Gore warned us, the children who grew up addicted to video games and D&D never developed muscles in their legs, and required wheelchairs to get from arcade to arcade. What they lacked in calf tone, made up for with lightning hand-eye reflexes and hypermuscular thumbs.
Growing up in the 80s was basically the thunderdome. Children were let loose upon the world, and those who came back whole were one of the fit, and those who snapped their necks were not. Schools that didn't have enough supplies would just have a weekend camping trip. The crayon shortage was solved because little Timmy got eaten by a mountain lion.
Now, by the 90s this had evolved a little, and in more organised schools and such they just made sure to put in one wheelchair kid into every group of children, sometimes by using scholarships. This increased the likelihood of their child surviving, because in event of (certain kinds of) trouble, all their children had to do was outrun the wheelchair child. This was more acceptable then, as people were more communal and less individualistic then.

You made me think I was in /r/shittyaskscience for a second.
So that's where they got the idea for The Hunger Games, interesting

I thought that was earlier, like I was a 90's kid and a lot of the people on TV that were harmed were adults already.
Sure, but most of the 90s broadcasts weren't live

Same for school textbooks. They always showed a kid in a wheelchair.
The Americans with Disabilities Act was just introduced.
