The Bottom Line Work with others with disabilities, don't turn them away.
I am a 27 year old woman who has stuttered for most of my life. I used to use it as a "crutch" as I put it. I would avoid going places where I would have to talk, or make up excuses for why I am not going, where ever. I just didn't want to get those looks, yes you all know the looks. Either the "oh poor girl" looks or the, "whats wrong with her" looks or the, " I wonder what she has" looks. I used to think that I would be alone for the rest of my life since most people were afraid of me, and I didn't understand just why. Then I woke up, they just didn't understand well, just why I talked the way that I did. So I started to tell people from day one of knowing them, that seemed to work. I eventually stopped avoiding and hiding from situations regarding talking. I eventually just didn't care what other people thought of my "disability". I don't think of myself of having a disability, I am just the way I am, I can't change the way I am, and I wouldn't want to. The way I am has made me the person that I am today, a happily married, mother of 2 wonderful children. I just wanted to say for all those whom made fun of me or are making fun of others regardless of their disability, STOP! It is very cruel and wrong and to be honest just childish if you ask me. And that is my opinion, take it or leave it, up to you.  |
