Tweeting disability: bumper stickers and disabled friends

Emma Emma | 14:35 UK time, Monday, 1 August 2011

A glimpse into the lives of disabled people from all over the world, via Twitter. With added fascinating biogs.

Just seen AWFUL bumper sticker: 'Men are like parking spaces: the good one's [sic] are taken & the rest are handicapped or too small.'
. Blogger and breast cancer surviver

Figured it out now. If I want to be treated like I'm lazy use the mobility scooter. To be treated like I'm stupid use the powerchair.
. Mum with fibromyalgia

One of my Uni friends said recently that I have too many disabled friends... Um no, but I'm thinking that one less Uni friend will be fine.
. Occupational therapist and musician.

A coworker with an ear infection just came up to me and said that now she understands what it's like to be deaf. Uhh, I have no words!

    I think we should take care of disabled people around us. They don’t have all the abilities that a normal person does have. We should not realize them that they are anymore lesser to others. Unfortunately, our society is not playing such an active role in this regard. Governments should bring new for the rights protection of disabled persons. Great by the way!!
