From the Heart of Someone Who is Physically Disabled

A)

People should be more educated about the handicapped, not just the mentally handicapped, but the physically handicapped, as well. Speaking from experience, I know what ifs like to be misunderstood and also how fhistrating it can be when you are physically handicapped. Many people have the wrong idea about those of us who are handicapped, and how we should be treated. In writing this article, I hope to clear up some common misunderstandings about handicapped persons.

B)

The phrase more commonly used today, instead of Physically Handicapped, is Physically Challenged. There is no difference between the two phrases. The more I think about it, however, the more I prefer the phrase, Physically Disabled, over the other two. One common misunderstanding about handicapped persons, is whether or not, a person is mentally handicapped, and/or physically disabled.

C)

Many able-bodied people seem to think that, just because someone has something physically wrong with him/her that he/she is mentally handicapped as well. That is not always true, and is certainly not the case with me! These people seem to think that being mentally handicapped has to go together with being physically disabled, without any exceptions. When this happens, the physically disabled person feels very hurt or very angry because of this. There are also people who think, that they have to be really nice to physically disabled persons, because they are in a wheelchair. They think they have to be really careful about what they say. Others think that, just because someone is physically disabled he/she can't speak for him/herself, and that someone else has to speak for him/her. It is true, that people who are handicapped, either physically or mentally, sometimes can't verbally express themselves, but they have other ways of communicating with people. One example, is Bliss Symbolics, put together in some type of folder. This form of communication is a series of drawings, with the words of what each drawing is, underneath the picture or symbol. Some people use sign language, even if their hearing is not impaired (损害).Today, even computers play a big part in how a person communicates, especially when they can't communicate verbally. So you see that most handicapped persons can speak for themselves and should be allowed to do so. Come over and talk to us. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised!

D)

It may be that there is a misunderstanding between the parents, or other family members, of a physically disabled person. It is sometimes hard fbr that person, to express his or her feelings, because of the close relationships of family members, who help the one who is physically disabled. It is because of the relationship of those involved in this way, with the physically disabled person that problems such as these may arise. The problem may lie with the person, or people in the family, who help the physically disabled person. Thafs why ifs so nice, when physically challenged people can have friends outside of their homes, with whom they can talk, too.

E)

Subjects and feelings, difficult to talk about, will be different in every situation. Family members may feel resentful, when the one in the wheelchair, has to be looked after by them. A family may develop guilt feelings. They may also feel that the individual in the wheelchair should get to know other people, or maybe, even live somewhere else. They can't always do something about it. They might feel differently than they do. The physically disabled person may even have his or her own ideas about the situation, in which they find themselves unable to express their opinion, fbr fear of hurting someone else⁵s feelings.

F)

Sometimes parents get upset, especially, when the handicapped sibling tries to express his or her feelings about something, that he or she feels should be expressed. It is usually a difierent view point from that of their parents. Physically disabled people have their own viewpoints on things that should be talked about. We don't want to be a burden to anyone, but many times, we have to be helped. We often have little, or no say, in how we should be looked after.

G)

It is because of these fhistrations, what we are trying to say sometimes comes out all wrong. This is when feelings get hurt and it wasn't intended to be that way at all. I think that it is very important that parents and children talk about their feelings with each other, especially when it involves a brother or sister who is handicapped. The physically disabled member of the family may feel "stuck in the middle,, because of trying to look at things from both sides.

H)
