Unit Post: Disability Visibility
I bet many of you donāt know that Atticus Shaffer aka Brick from the TV show āThe Middleā has osteogenesis imperfecta type IV a genetic condition. According to The National Library of Medicine, Osteogenesis imperfecta is a disorder in which the body doesnāt make enough collagen.Ā Since collagen provides structure for the bones, children with this disorder break bones much more easily. So why do people believe the way Brick walks and looks is part of the directors and Atticusā acting choices? Ā By this show failing to address Atticusā condition when itās evident in the way he walks, itās almost like they are ashamed of it or hiding it, but the truth of the matter is people could have disabilities and still live productiveĀ lives
.
Many people view disabilities as a physical condition that limits a personās movements, senses, or activities. However it doesnāt have to be visible to the eye, it could be a mental condition as well. Not everyone is born with their disability, but it can derive from an accident or just plain overtime. A statistic from disibilityfunders.org states that of the 69.6 million families in the United States, more than 20 million have at least one family member with a disability. So why then are disabilities rarely represented in pop culture? What movie/TV show can you name that depicts the life of a person living with a disability outside of the typical stereotypes? Not that many right?
Well āPush Girlsā is one of them. āPush Girlsā follows the life of four L.A. women who were all born able-bodied but later become paralyzed. The show depicts their daily lives and struggles of being in a wheelchair. It is the first of its kind to represent disabilities in this light. The women are happy and overcoming of obstacles, it shows that they are just like everyone else. But the problem is that these women donāt represent people with disabilities as a whole. These women are privileged; they are beautiful, have money, and none of them were born with this, they became injured in car accidents (with the exception of one).
Although āPush Girlsā does a great job showing that not all people with disabilities are unhappy and would chose to be able-bodied, it needs some work. Letās be honest, society listens to the media and yes disabled people need to be better represented, after all, they are the largest minority in America. But they donāt need to be represented in the stereotypical person in a wheelchair, or insane person way that we see in many movies. Itās crazy to think that society and the way people think is what defines a disability, if everyone stopped caring about what other people looked like, or their physical ability then no one would ever be disabled.
