Discrimination against disabled or less abled bodies people?

right this question is about discrimination against disabled or less abled bodies people,

but with a twist!!

Do u think there is more discrimination and predudice form

another disabled person that is aimed against a another

person with a disablity/ies and if so, is it becomin socially

exceptable in the disabled world? eg if a person who was in

a wheelchair got called a spastic by a person who was

mentally retarded or had autsim (by the way it not about me)

and that person in a wheelchair didnt report him/her on the

grounds or discrimination . but two hours later the same thing

happened to the wheelchair user but this time

the person that discriminated didnt have

any kind of disability an he/she then reports it.

*one: do u think it far?

*two: why do you think that the peson who
wasnt in a wheelchair but was disabled do that?
Answers:
Like poles attract opposites repel. it`s always been that way.
Discrimination is discrimination in any shape or form whether one disabled person against another or the so called "normal person" against the disabled.
The issue here is labeling that has become our national pre-occupation. I understand there is now a first people language that is supposed to be used in reference to people with disabilities.By the way, people, especially Agency managers, Case workers, QMRPs, Behavior consultants, the specialist mob at the BDDS et al working with/for people with developmental disabilities are more retarded than the individuals they are supposed to help. There's tons of repetitive and meaningless paper work produced daily by BDDS, BQIS, APS, CPS etc etc, added to mountains of more balderdash produced by the agencies as policy statements in regard to people with developmental disablities. Listen, if I am blind, I know I am blind and I dont care if someother blighter said help that blind guy. I am simply blind and that is my cross to carry but it's all nonsense when someone goes hypocritical and starts refering to my disability as the guy with challenged eyesight. Nonsense. Equally so, if I use a wheel chair because of an ambulatory impairment, so be it. I am on a wheel chair or I use one or depend on it. That's a reality. Crab if you start looking for some nice sounding phrases. It's condescending and humiliating trying to find excuses or say easy phony words for my disability. And if I have a severe mental retardation, why is every one trying pretend that I have the intellegence to make an informed decision. The state, the federal government and all and sundry are out to assist me by providing a care giver because they recognize that due to my mental retardation, I am incapable of supporting myslf with activities of daily living. But when the system comes to punish a care giver because I have made a wrong judgement and made a wrong accusation on the caregiver due to the state of my mental retardation, surely, how hypocritical! If I have a developmental impairment, I am more likely than not to depend on a structured routine to understand and cope with the environment around me. The caregiver is an integral part of this landscape and them being human, they cannot be tailor made. They are all different. Unfortunately, caregivers are the most abused, lowly paid and dispensable units of the thriving disability care industry. So, how do you expect me to cope with a structured routine when you have made the most important and indespensable part of my routine so dispensable? Every time you remove a caregiver working with me because he/she did not use a first person language on me and someone reported them, you have caused me stress and that's abuse. Your definition, not mine.
