[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Certainly haven’t found this for my child with special needs but adults are also entirely unaccepting of him too, so it’s not being taught. It’s all “be kind” to people with wheelchairs for example but be as mean as you feel like it to children with cognitive issues etc. Lots of work to be done on that front. Acceptance isn’t innate for some things. [/quote] As someone with friends in wheelchairs and who belong to the dead and blind communities (their identification) , don’t actually believe the societal “be kind” narrative. People assume because their legs/ears/eyes don’t work, that they must have cognitive difficulties too. I have been out with friends and had people address me, and not the person I’m with... although they have a bajillion more times education and intelligence than I ever will.[/quote]
