@flickhwilliams It’s not nonesense! My opinion and desire for a conversation is valid.
Yes, it’s society’s attitude.
But I absolutely HATE ‘dis’ it suggests societally that we are less than equal and is negative.
I have a BIG issue with the word disability and speak from experience.
I got off a plane to find my independence stripped from me.
This cannot continue happening to disabled people. This #wheelchair is my mobility. My entire life is powered by this wheelchair.
Another flight, another broken wheelchair damaged by #airlines.

People with disabilities have changed the world in so many meaningful ways. Create a portrait of a person who made a positive contribution to the world and who was disabled using something that is symbolic of their contribution. #gish#gish2022#disabilitypride

#Peopleofdetermination will have to eat/keep warm. They will show their resiliency superpowers AGAIN
Has anyone thought how people of #disABILITY will be able to afford travel to hospital appointments?
So more of us will see yet more worsening of our physical/mental condition
NEW: Liz Truss has announced she will scrap diversity and inclusion jobs in Whitehall, making sure civil service officials actually start to focus on delivery
@OT_Expert Its a complete misrepresentation of the concept of 'rehab' to suit the service/profession, not the person. Professionals that use this term are categorically not person centred. Full stop
@OT_Expert EVERYONE has rehab potential! Clinicians need to spend time getting to know their clients and what motivates them and what their goals are. Most often people described as "noncompliant" have a different working model of their impairments that don't match the treating team's
