Today's prompt is about a book I recently read called, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. The discussion is about the following quote.
"Some people are born with disabilities but it's the communities that handicap them" - Anonymous
I agree with this statement but, it is not just the communties that handicap them. As a person living with a few mental dissorders, I feel very strongly about this.
People are molded by their surroundings and with many people treating mental dissorders like it's contagious it sure doesn't help. People not knowing the facts about mental ilnesses is a problem and it does infact make the handicap even worse.
I think that schools or parents or someone should be telling these people the facts, that it is a handicap, it does make many things harder, but it isnt somekind of virus people living with handicaps are people and should be treated with the same respect you give all of your other peers. If they need a bit of extra help be kind and help, just like you would anyone else. It's important that people are excluded because of whatever handicap they may have.
TLDR, Be kind to people with or without handicaps, and everyone when they need it.
