Thread: Disabilities

i agree with this 100% i have met a few people like this and even helped in the local special Olympics in my town i don't see them any different for the fact they have the same feelings as everyone else ,some of them are
even better than the people who say they to slow or something, example
autism some of them can do numbers and such or even those that seem unable to do anything are more creative then the normal people.

my self i think normal is just a point of view because i don't consider my
self normal at all because that's to much like following a fad or something
so i stick out like sore thumb with my personalty and out look on things
being normal is just to stressful.

i mean look at normal people today they kill, rape ,steal ,cheat ,lie,hell
you name it the normal people do it i think we need to re- lable normal
because if that's normal then you can leave me out i want have anything to
do with normal then.

those with disbilty's are way better off i think because they dont have to
go through life stressing on crap. disabled? define that for me and i can
show 20 normal people that should be labled as that with how they act and treat others

Having dated and fell in love with someone who had Cerebral Palsy (She had only partial use of her legs and was in a wheelchair), They should be treated with respect and dignity, and only give help when they need it/Ask for it.

We should just treat them like we treat our friends. They don't want to thought as diffirently, they don't want to be taught as someone who needs to be given that special care, at least what my 'disabled' friends said. And I agree with that. When I brok my leg and had to hobble around with a cane I was really irritated that very gave me that 'oh-poor-you-darling' look. Seriously, if I had to stand if for life and not for three months, I would have gone bananas by then. They are just like us, perhaps slow in academics, without the ability to walk, but they think like us, behave like us. So what is with the pitying look that really irks 'disabe people' and their friends? They have feelings, they can process thoughts, abeit slightly slower for some. SO? I definitely didn't want to be treated like a princess when I was injured.

We are all humans. We have to understanding and respectful enough to know that maybe they can't do certain things we can but doesn't mean we still can't respect them for who they are. After all they could be somethings they can do that we can't (i.e try painting as well as a disabled guy that uses his feet to paint).

I think that people with disabilities dont have anything wrong with them, per se. because really, the are just different to people without any "disabilities", and we are all diferent to each other anyway. it just annoys me when people call people that dont have disablilities normal, what isnt normal about having a disability?

The "Oh, I'm sorry," bit can't be helped. What else is to be expected of the regular person? If the disabled guy's going to take that as a snide remark, then that's his problem. But I definitely don't think that the handicapped should be treated differently... well, if they were to be treated differently, let it be in a positive way, not negative. After all, there are things we can do that they can't, so it's only right that we help them do it.

Whether it is physical or mental disability those persons who have it should be treated equal. Evryone should respect them bcoz they are also human beings. And its not their fault that they have it nor they didnt want to have it. They suffered too much and then most people even make it worst. Its just really sad knowing that most people treat them badly and avoid as if they are plague. Such inhuman acts that makes me think that demons are even much better than humans.
