I'm not sure why disability invites bad behaviour or why it brings out the worst in people and their behaviour. I can empathise with everyone who deals with a disability.

Social Media

It's sad that social media, continues to highlight problems for those of us who deal with a disability and who continue to come into contact with people, who because of ignorance can treat us badly.

We Should All be Treat Equally

It is important to treat all people equally, take other people's difficulties into consideration, to want to care, to listen and to identify with others, to have and be empathetic to other people’s needs.Not all Disabilities are Visible

My disability shows that not all disabilities are visible: it's difficult to know which part of a disability people take issue with or why. It’s not just me who notices, or who struggles with it. It doesn’t matter how disabled we are, mentally, emotionally or physically, there needs to be better behaviour centred around what we deal with.

We're Trying to Fit In

Those with a disability are not trying to make people’s lives difficult, we’re just trying to live our lives so that we fit in. When it comes to disability, it is important people understand, so they're a little more tolerant around our wants and needs.

Conclusion

Often, living with a disability means we're seen as intense, stubborn and difficult. It’s the nature of how disabilities present. That's not on us. It's people’s attitudes around what we deal with needs to change. Through my experiences and as 'my story' again shows, there still needs to be more patience, tolerance, empathy and compassion around disability. We should all want to care.
