Disability Misconceptions Vs Reality!

1. Many people think that we need to be using our mobility aids at all times in order to actually need it but this isn't the case. Some people may need different aids for different days or different scenarios and, whilst others may rely on their aids more full time, we don't need our wheelchairs in bed!

2. Lots of people think it's really easy to get support when you are disabled & lots of people claim they have disabilities just to gain benefits but this is far from the truth. It's hard enough to know what support is out there and then when you find support filling out applications & doing admin is a full time job and can be extremely draining both mentally & physically. It takes months or often years to get any support and most of the support we get does not cover the extra costs of being disabled.

3. So many people think Disabled folks are lazy & can't or won't do things for themselves but I have never met a lazy disabled person in my life! Yes we may need extra support but often we go above & beyond expectations to prove ourselves to others, to show we can do things, often at a cost to our own health.

4. Whether it's medical TV shows or health & safety guides at work being disabled is always shown to be the worst case scenario and I'm not going to pretend that being disabled is a picnic, it can be ridiculously hard, but there are so many beautiful moments of disabled joy in my life that I wouldn't change. No my life hasn't turned out exactly how I thought it would, but that doesn't mean that the life I've made isn't a good one.

What other Disability Misconceptions & Myths do you think need busting? Let me know in the comments!

I'd love it if you could share this reel to your stories to help people understand the reality of living with a Disability.

Excellent video. It started so strong with the wheelchair in the bed. The jokes were excellent, and the real talk was true and informative. I loved the point about disabled joy too. There are times where I am happy despite my disabilities, and there are even times when I am happy because of them (making an entire room of people burst into laughter when I share a funny mishearing feels pretty darn great after struggling to hear enough to hold a conversation all day).

I’m still in my “it’s the end of the world” phase, but I’ll soon find my own disabled joy as a wheelchair user

that second one is so real
My mom was trying to get me scheduled to a certain kind of therapist (or maybe a therapist at a certain organization idk)
And it’s been so long since that application was made that I feel I’ve become comfortable with my autism to the point I no longer need this therapist

With benefits and such as well, they can really easily be taken away for basically no reason. My sociology teacher walked with crutches and one of her neighbours claimed that she saw her walking without them (just a complete lie) and all her benefits got stopped while they investigated it

“Being disabled is the worst case scenario”
Idk I feel like being dead would be the worst case scenario and being a pedo would be the second worst scenario

this is just a question and i realize that this is gonna sound rude but i really don’t intend it to be, but how do you manage your weight? because even as an ambulatory wheelchair user i’m assuming you’re not just exercising all the time or walking around constantly. do you have to eat less food or are there ways which you exercise within the wheelchair? or do you simply dedicate enough time you spend on your feet to exercise?
