Arson fire Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I was once told exactly that "there's nothing wrong with him" when I took a young man with Autism to the speedway.. Lots of hidden disabilities are treat the same by society in general....quite sad really. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwatcher Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I think people in general live life to fast these days and they either don't want or don't see people with dissabilities. The rest of the time is when they do see them they are down right rude a stare, which only makes them more uncomfortable. It so hard hard at times in my wheelchair. People just don't seem to look at ground level and see you there, they don't hear you either. My cousin was special needs he suffered from brain damaged as a child. I always took my own grandchildren to visit him just to show them that he was something special something different and all the other in the home he lived in used to love thier visits. This has made them very aware that the children that go to thier school that has also got special need children there to not shun them, which they don't, my grandaughter looks to one of them as her best friend and I am glad that they can understand, that they are no different from them. It would help if that the places that we go to or the places that we would like to go to had a little bit more knowladge of how to make our lives that little bit simpler. A disabled toilet is not the only answer if you also have to climb 6 steps to get into the building to start with. I find this a great problem if I go shopping or out to a restruant. It is so annoying when you can't get in the pklace, and someone comes out and asks if they can help you. The answer to the question should be that they should have to you should be able to get in there in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
