Basically, it's frustrating for people to assume people with disabilities are always sweet and kind and virtuous. Society makes us assume a pedestal and although better than vilifying us...it's undeserved and furthermore bizarre.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16170910814856328134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836838910410007770.post-54452837488890141642014-06-11T09:41:08.097+10:002014-06-11T09:41:08.097+10:00I'm glad it made you smile, Emily!

I can tell someone is uncomfortable around disability, even when they seem to be acting relaxed, when they pull out a statement with those stereotypes.Briana and Bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08765070916916335861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836838910410007770.post-66836495551141824922014-06-11T09:40:02.750+10:002014-06-11T09:40:02.750+10:00Thank you, Tisa!

He's absolutely adorable, he's sweet, he can be kind, but he's not a sweetheart. He picks on little kids, just this past week he's hit, kicked, bit, and scratched me repeatedly. God, I love that little guy. But I'll be darned if I let anyone call him a sweetheart. Yes, he's a wonderful adorable little guy, but please stop with the generilization.
