Disability doesn’t cause stigma.
Ableism causes stigma.

This is beyond disgusting how can someone believe that this is right? Please don't feel sorry for us however don't believe that one day in our shoes or "wheels" makes you understands how daily life is with a disability. An arrogant, ableist view.

In case this hasn’t been said enough: simulating a mobility impairment will only ever simulate someone’s very FIRST experience of using a wheelchair. Often that’s not fun, for anyone. Live with a mobility impairment and you’ll see that wheels= freedom. https://t.co/x0ED43JKNj

How is this right? Change needs to happen!
