Some people think disabled people are not smart and I think the people are wrong because I am disabled and I would like the people to understand that the disabled are not helpless and dumb. Some people think i don't understand them and they treat me like a baby. i rather be born disabled than get into an accident and become disabled. i hate people staring at me and making faces. i can't do some of the things other people do. some people talk slowly to me or spell their message on my computer. why do they do that? i'm not hearing impaired.
i go the easter seals called northwood, the camp the disabled
i have bad days and good days. if i have a bad day then i tell my teaching assistant and her name is mrs brodie. she helps me with my work and i hate that she looks over my shoulder while i'm working.
i have a worker named tammy and i consider her my friend. she helps me with bathing and with my clothing. we like to talk about life. i don't like when people remind me that i'm disabled and i don't care. i think that i am a regular person and i like to be treated with respect and not like a baby. i think that i can understand more than people think.
i have a best friend and her name is amanda and she helps me. i think that my life is special because it is one of a kind. people treat disabled people like they have a sickness. i am happy just the way i am.
