Firth wins Paralympic gold for Ireland - RTÉ Sport
great win. however the author of the piece is wrong to say she 'suffers from' intellectual disability. why do non-disabled people always assume that if you have an impairment you are 'suffering'. many disabled people suffer more from society's negative attitude, discrimination and prejudice. Bethany HAS an intellectual impairment. very simple.
A disabled woman challenges the 'status quo' in Ireland. This blog was started to highlight inequality, abuse and injustice in the lives of disabled people. The wooden spoon was given to me when I graduated (PhD) as I'm known to 'stir up' and get things done. I'm still stirring from my wheelchair...Justice for disabled people demands we 'stir-up' complacency, injustice, inequality lack of services, and scapegoating . Disabled people deserve rights not charity! "Nothing about me without me!"
