you know what really sucks? when people with special needs say that they have a disability because they have been told that their whole lives. I guess it doesn’t bother them, and if it doesn’t that’s fine. But if you’re made fun of and told that you have a disability, know that you are perfect just the way you are and there are people who will love you just the way you are. You just have to find them. And even the word disability sucks because it’s focusing on what people can’t do, instead of what they can do. I’ve met people with special needs. Sure, there were some things they couldn’t do, but they are some of the kindest people I’ve ever met. They just have the biggest hearts and most positive attitudes. If you have befriended someone with special needs, you know what I’m talking about. And if you have you are a wonderful human being who has done what most people don’t dare to do. Honestly, the way people just ignore those who are differently-abled is just heartbreaking.
Some of the worst (and most widely believed) bullshit that’s put out there is that people with special needs are incapable of romantic love and/or sexual attraction. Yes, people with special needs need extra help. But they can fall in love, just the same as those without special needs. And with the right person, they can have a long, happy life with their partner.
