Hello,
In this post I will basically be going on about how society sees disability.
I recently read this just 5% of all people over the age of 18 have EVER considered dating or had a relationship with a disabled person. This seriously needs to change, we are just like anyone else, why is it such a big deal to date a disabled person?! It's not like we only date disabled people so why should able bodied people only date other able bodied people?! This is a topic that I am really passionate about, maybe this is because I have never had a long term relationship and the reason they all have ended it is because they don't want to be seen with the 'disabled' girl.
I would like to send a message to those idiots:
Get over it, I'm disabled I always have been I deal with it so you can too! Get over yourself!
Anyway, it isn't just this that really annoys me, it's how grown adults don't even address disability right. For example, a few years ago my old SENCO (special needs person at school) said to me and my mother how privileged she was to finally work with a SPASTIC! Yes, you read it right she called me a spastic and she was supposed to be a specialist in special needs, this made me so angry and upset, but also caused me to lose complete faith in there ever being equality for disabled people.
So you get the point. Please, if you are able bodied reading this blog and never see a disabled person on there own, go over there, be nice and treat them like anyone else.
Thank you for reading.
Evie Xx
