I just wanted to say, Sat, that you're doing brilliantly with these MHM posts; they're so well written and informative and it's no easy task to tackle topics such as those that you've covered thus far with such grace. Also thank you to WingsofLove for a very succinct and effective description of an experience that many of us on the Autism spectrum can relate to. ![]() |

I have a few disabilities and health issues! My main conditions are Spina Bifida, Hydrocephalus and a really rare condition called Diamond-Blackfan Anemia. ![]() |

I found out something really interesting today from an autism group I follow on FB about Person First Language. Something that I didn't realise many people with disabilities felt. ![]() |

Wow! Thank you for sharing that perspective, Abeille! I had no clue! In my college SPED classes I took while getting my degree (I was an education major before switching to social work) and that taught us PFL and made us use it exclusively. So it's really interesting to see from actual people that that is truly not preferred cause I had no clue! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🏳️🌈💕 My page is a SAFE space 💕🏳️🌈 ![]() |

Yes I have noticed in professional settings, most professionals are taught a specific way that goes entirely against how people with disabilities prefer being seen/treated. The teachings have not caught up with the current opinions/feelings of today. ![]() |

Well that's why I'm glad that HP has a community like this so that I can be corrected! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🏳️🌈💕 My page is a SAFE space 💕🏳️🌈 ![]() |

It's one of my favorite month, I have so many wonderful friends with disabilities. Some of the strongest, most independent people I know! My best friend's mom has limb-gridle muscular dsytrophy, and is the most independent person I know. She can no longer walk, and is my favorite scooter lady! Despite having the disease, she still drives her van, goes to grocery store by herself, and does not need much assistance at home. Occasionally she does have the fire department come rescue her from falling off of her scooter, but she says she enjoys having a muscular man pick her up like a princess😊 https://www.mda.org/disease/limb-girdle-muscular-dystrophy

Saturnia, you're an amazing person and I appreciate you for understanding and changing this post! I love these posts so much. It's great to get awareness out. People with disabilities have so much to offer the world and are generally capable of the same things as anyone else, we just have to do them a different way. We're great at adapting! ![]() |

Amberellie, your friend sounds like a hoot! I love that "strong man to pick her up like a princess" part! That made me laugh! (: ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🏳️🌈💕 My page is a SAFE space 💕🏳️🌈 ![]() |
