Am I disabled yes, am I human yes. So why do so many act like I’m am invisible or avoid me. If you hurt me do I not feel pain if you prick me do I not bleed.
So with that in mind why do me and many other disabled persons become invisible. We wheel ourselves in our chairs and drive in our scooters and normal persons walk round us while trying their hardest not to look at us or then the ones who walk into us and come out with comments like we should have moved out of there way first. Or as I experienced the one’s who say “art you going thank me I didn’t have to move” You know we are in chairs your on legs do the maths.
This world seems to in public promote care to disabled to but in reality that’s far from the case. The government set up pip and I personally know a lot of cases where disabled have been declined. But then if your a drunk or an addict you can get it. When queried your told its an illness. does that mean we all have to drink or take drugs to get the little we need for a normal life.
Then you got employment the your disabled guarantied interview the government spouts out about that’s fantasy. Amount of jobs I applied for and in the interview you get can you do this can you do that though your disabled or the best one is sorry you wont be able do the job as required. Well my legs might not work as well but my brain does.
So I’m left asking my self has much changed for us since the days they used to lock us away. We have been promised so much over the years and now it seems we are to be used to save money.
All I can say if your disabled like myself enough is enough its time we had our say and got our views across. We have been made to be third class long enough.
