No it doesn't mean that, at least not in my eyes. These things always bring 'stuff' home for a moment, and that's fine, allow that, but hten look at your daughter again and who do you see? Do you see a disabled person or do you see your beautiful, cheeky, wonderful daughter? Of course you don't see her as disabled, she has a few problems sure but she's not disabled, she just needs some extra help and you're getting her that which is what this is all about.
Lottie gets the high rate for care and mobility, do I see her as disabled, do I . I see her a Lottie, my angel, my pickle, my munchkin, who happens to have DS which means that she can't walk yet and can't talk and stuff.
Others will disagree with me, but it's how I deal with it. Diusabled is such a umbrella word and doesn't really mean that much to me. It's just one word used to describe so many things, so many different people.
