I didn't have an issue being disabled...this maybe a long post so please forgive me.
I'm in my late 50s and though have been different from birth. I've lived a normal life. School college work family marriage kids, etc
My so called disability is a physical one but I'm all walking talking etc
My only issues today are what most people have which is age related arthritis. I may need a hip replacement or a knee who knows.
But to me nothing is different with me. Than anyone else. I put that down to being brought up by parents and family who didn't wrap me in cotton wool. Is that wrong?
I've heard on the grapevine that at my age now, I should accept I'm disabled because I am !!!
I won't use a scooter or crutches unless I absolutely have too. I don't give in and I enjoy my life but there's a person tells oothers he thinks I struggle and it's about time I accept disability. DO I HAVE TOO?
This person is someone who likes to be ill apparently and plays. on ailments being much worse than they are
I'm not like that but I don't want to accept disability why is it an issue with him?
