Abled and on Air News Paper post 2
New year new you We are not Retards
Hello Again Readers
As we go into this new year 2024
Forget about the past but we can't however the past teaches us about how to get stronger with the future the future is not so bleak as it seems
We get so. Worried as a nation with what people say about us as people with disabilities my wife and I don't worry about words However words do hurt
History points out about The Word Retarded The R Word was stricken during United States President Obama Administration had a law put into place called Rosas Law
Rosas Law is about a girl named for the law that the family helped advocate for
The R word is not allowed to be put in medical paperwork
Because Doctors and medical professionals are not allowed to use such a word to describe such a disability
Also other words are not supposed to be used to describe people
Such as Handicapped
Feeble
Lunatic
Deaf Dumb and Blind
Chronic sick
And the lists go on
Words do hurt
So This post is aimed at Journalists or social workers or case managers who write reports
If I were you I would consider taking a class in learning how to write before offending someone
When you offend people with disabilities your offending someone who takes pride in themselves
We are people not just someone who has a challenged
Growing up with an Alcoholic Father and a mother who had mental challenges wasn't easy my father called me Retarded all the time till he stopped drinking and other things
We must stop bad etiquette and bad treatment for All All Peoples Matter
All Abilities matter got to stop Hurting one another Becomes A new You in the New Year and walk away when someone says something you don't like don't become angry Stay positive and do positive things to make a difference Advocate for what you believe in to make a solid Difference
We don't need Angry people we need more Advocates who are Abled with Many Abilities
Please watch in 2024
