What is Able Bodiedism/Disablism?
969493
If you look at the social modal of disablity, then disablity is the collision of an impairment with social, cultural, institutional, and enviromental prejudices. Ablebodiedism discribes the conditioning and social structures which keep inplace a system which favours ablebodied people. \nThis like all currentday oppressions,this benefits a social and economic system that is based on over physical productivity, and de values human relationships and communities.

I disagree. I work in a pub and quite often people use their disability as an excuse for not being responsible for their actions. we have a deaf lady and a man in a wheelchair who both get drunk and abusive and then try to tell staff that we are discriminating against their disability when we ask them to leave.

Paraplegia is the term and it means you have no nerve or muscle function below the waiste. This is usually due to a spinal cord problem or damage. Most folks like this are wheelchair bound.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nCraig - Naturopath.

People who are physically challenged may or may not need a wheelchair, but they have some problem physically that makes it difficult for them to carry out the simple tasks of life that most of us take for granted.  Consider the child who loses an arm in a car accident or the person born with spina bifida or cerebral palsy.  It can be challenging for them to cope with the physical demands of leading an ordinary life.  Many devices and supports are available to help individuals with physical challenges deal more easily with the world.  Accessibility laws that require ramps, doors wide enough for wheelchairs, elevators, doors that open automatically, etc. are one of society's ways of trying to make things better for people with physical challenges.

Antidisestablishmentarianism is a political philosophy that is opposed to the separation of church and state. The term originated in the context of the nineteenth century Church of England, where "antidisestablishmentarians" were opposed to proposals to remove its status as the state church of England.

Disability Groups are already in consultation with the Mayor of London and LOCOG (The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games) over the access and transport issues involved in disabled athletes and spectators attending the 2012 Games and Paralympic Games. \n\nMuch of London's ancient underground system is still inaccessible, though all buses can now take wheelchairs and all the Routemaster buses have now been scrapped in favour of low floor buses with retractable ramps that can emerge and rest on pavements.\n\nSo yes, the issue is being taken very seriously and it is one of the reasons why London was awarded the Games as it was an integral part of the bid.

Being handicapped is a frame of mind. Anyone can do anything if they want it bad enough. Those who cry "handicapped" are weak and a disgrace to tose with disabilities as a whole. The strong ones don't whine and cry, throw a pity party or expect a free handout.

If a disabled person, whose disability was they were facially disfigured were asked to leave a restaurant by the management because other diners had complained about having to look at unusual faces, that would be discrimination under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (in England). \n\nI imagine the Americans with Disabilities Act 1992 has a similar jurisdiction over such cases.\n\nBeing attracted or repelled by someone is not something you can control. It is what you do about it that may constitute discrimination (in the legal sense of that word).

You already know people judge a lot based on visuals- people in wheelchairs just have an extra set of visuals to deal with.\n\nThe main thing is getting out there where the guys are. Wheelchirs can limit mobility and socializing if you don't work at it.\n\nLots of the folk I work with in chiars are dating.

I think there is a lot of confusion about this issue.  The radicalists shout  "We are people and there is nothing wrong with disability" ....OK fair enough.  I dont have a problem with disability or disabled people.  But why do others need to be born that way if there is a cure?  Its like saying Cancer is a fact of life, we have the drugs to treat it but we wont do it cos cancer sufferers are people too!  It is not logical.  Disbled people should be a real part of the community, REAL inclusion, not just lip service and to be able to fulfill their potential.  But if I had the choice of gene therapy and a child free of disablilites I would want to take the therapy.  There is surely no question that disabilty causes suffering whether that be physical, mental or emotional, and I would want to avoid that for any child of mine if I could.

um...so you mean handi capped people cannot drive and they should make a prison of their own lives just because they cant do some thing we normal people can do? \n\nNah, handi capped people should enjoy what we all enjoys, just because they have lost an eye...an arm or a leg, doesnt mean that they shouldnt be doing the things that we do. \n\nAnd you also said that a handi capped woman had an accidents...but the fact is, normal people have no disability but they still having lots accidents, does one handi capped person means that lot to you then other millions of people you seen or heard on the news every day?\n\ni mean, seriously, why do we have blind side walk, wheel chair or artifical legs? does that means handi capped shouldnt be walking the first place? \n\nwe just needs a little more understand and empathy to other people, i can promise that this world will be a much better place.
