I have two disabled brothers and yes, it can be really difficult & its hard work but i do it for them. They didnt ask to be like this, one even says that he hates his disability, wishes he was normal. He wants a family, to live independently & drive etc and although we know he cant do that, we tell him it is possible and help him to make steps towards independence. my other brother could give a **** what people think of him, he's happy and active and deals with his disability but they are like this because they have the mental and physical stimulation, they have had an appropriate education and have a social life.
They do have times where they can be aggressive and even violent but it is because that is the only way they feel they can communicate how they feel.
The caged children could have had a life like my brothers but people just dont seem to have the time for them. At college there are a couple of girls who talk about people with disabilities and say they should be locked up...it makes me so angry.
i think i should introduce them to my brothers, whatdya think?
