Ableists view disability as inherently negative, something to be - TopicsExpress



          

Ableists view disability as inherently negative, something to be conquered in the quest for a ‘normal’ body. Ableists fail to see people who experience disability as merely different with a valid contribution to make towards society; they view them with pity, fear and even disgust. Such a hard read for this momma..... I got kinda choked up and than I wondered in my own way am I an ableist? Is my quest to see my daughter normal jaded by society or medicine? Whos definition of normal do we use in todays society?? Is she really an different than the kid next to her?? I really wonder if this struggle is adherently mine and in no way a reflection of her?
