My personal experience working with disabled people tells me that most of them do not really want to be pitied. They do not want people to sympathise with them. They do not want to be patronised. All they want are for people to (a) see their person first before their disabilities, (b) respect their person instead of being sorry for them because of their disabilities, (c) think of their future potential instead of their current disabilities, (d) give them the same opportunities as we would give every other person. Are these too much for a person to ask of another person?
Inspiring people to develop new way of thinking about life and living.
