Disability awareness

This is something I did because I've experienced it first hand. I'm not doing this as a joke.

Would you mind if i link this video into my college project? It's a project pn equality and diversity. I've chosen disability as I think it's one issue that needs to be highlighted as something that people dont have the right to discriminate against

[suekosa]

No, problem! It would be an honor for me, to have a video of mine featured on a college project.

I have autism. The title "heavens special children" really irritates me. The term "special" really offends me. People use terms like "special" and "handycapeable"(another term that irritates the hell out of me) when they don't want to be offensive. Well those terms offend me more than deliberately offensive terms like retard and cripple. People should ask US what terms we prefer rather than using terms that non disabled people tell them are the correct terms for "those kinds of people".

GREAT JOB!! ALL PEOPLE NEEDS TO SEE WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IN GODS EYES WE ARE PERFECT. I HAVE A PERSONAL REASON FOR LIKING THIS VIDEO AND I AM SHARING IT.

What a totally patronising video.

I have a Disability, I am a wheelchair user. I have a child, a partner, education and I live independantly. I am not brave, I am certainly not 'SPECIAL'

The word special when used to describe someone with a Disabiltiy is highly offensive.

I would be mortified if anyone thought of me as the way you have portrayed Disabled people here.

Disabled Children don't want a video made for them highlighting their differences. They want to be treated normally.

Buddy I hope you dont mind, me sharing this video in my social networking channels with the following comment, "Disability is not a disease of the individual. Its in our mind, which makes us think, the person is disabled. These are people with special needs. Look and behave with them, just like any other person like us.". Do let me know if you have reservations. I wanted to promote the cause.

I am a person...A disabled person, and proud of it, my impairment and experience are both strands of my diversity. I don't see that as secondary or even last..vocal loud disabled and proud! We wouldn't say a woman or a black person is a woman/black as secondary? Some nice images but the messages need really thinking about, what are we saying about disability which really is created by social attitudes and environment towards difference and diversity! Thanks for the opportunity to comment.
