While I was looking for a video about using a terrible word that it now a common word, used by many, I found this video which I had seen on television before. This is a video made by a woman who has Autism and is unable to speak. Her video says so much though. It is about how people with disabilities as viewed as “non-persons”.
Amanda is able to tell us how she feels in a way that can only make us want to become advocates if we are not already. She is proud, intelligent and able to educate us by her “voice” that is so strong and powerful.
Please take the time to view the video in it’s entirety.
very enlightening… thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this. I am afraid that I have treated some people in this manner unintentionally. It hurts me to know that.
