Disabled as Paul was

[henz988]

Disabled as Paul was, he tried his best to finish the task.
I was told the sentence is wrong. Would you please tell me why?


Many thanks in advance.

It suggests that his disability was the cause of the effort and it might sound better if you used a pronoun in the first part and the name in the second:
Despite his disability, Paul tried his best to finish the task.

The first version is coherent, but a little awkward. Tdol's version works better.

You could also use 'though' in place of 'as', but I still prefer Tdol's version.

I agree with the others, but I would say:

Despite his disability, Paul did his best to finish the task.

Experts I am waiting for your answer

It's grammatical, but it's not clear. Hence all the rewrites.
