Just a thought

I think when it comes to people who are sick, have a disability, or a disorder, the best thing we can do for them is treat them like you would any other person. When you look at these people don’t let their defects distract you. They are human just like you, and they deserve a normal life just as much as you or anyone else. Sometimes our first instinct is to shower them with pity. They don’t need pity, what they really need is acceptance and respect.

*& no I’m not trying to say that they shouldn’t receive the, accommodations they need.
