As we know that it should come to no surprise whatsoever that we live in a world where society, movies and
messages on bulletin telling or sharing with us that we should be living in a world where it is highly catered
and meeting the needs of able-bodied. More than that, people with disabilities are so often underrepresented in the media, TV, literature, and film.
People with disabilities are habitually only cast if their disability serves to explain some tragic backstory or denote a questionable morality.

Contrary to popular belief, disability studies and educational reform have become a major priority in the literary, critical, medical, and political world.
Just recently in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed to give civil rights to people with disabilities.
This shows how oblivious many were to the severity of disabilities in society before this time, and also how people with disabilities have been
ostracized and abused through out centuries. Popular theorists such as Ronald J. Berger and Lennard J. Davis introduce terminology
and views on how to better understand disabilities. According to Berger, “disability studies- an interdisciplinary field of inquiry that includes representation
from social sciences, the humanities, and the medical, rehabilitation, and education professions- is vital to an understanding of humankind”
(Berger, Introducing Disability studies. 2013). Berger is definitely opening the doors and helping those with disabilities find their place in society.
Davis, on the other hand, focuses on the “construction of normalcy” saying, “the problem is not the person with disabilities; the problem is the way normalcy
is constructed to create the problem of the disabled person” (Davis, The Disability Studies Reader. 2006). Basically, society gets to label what is normal
and what is not. I was terrified of the evil grasshopper from A Bug’s Life but what does
that say about me or about how Disney portrays some animals as able bodied and good and the ones that are missing a language as savage and evil?
​
Or more importantly, what does this say about us as people (particularly those privileged as being seen as able-bodied and “normal”) that we often do not question or notice inequalities and illusions to slavery within our imaged utopias and cartoon wonderlands that we watch and admire while we were young!

On top of the more obvious examples, there seems to be an underlying theme of dehumanization of certain characters/groups of characters in Disney films and TV.

Here, I will look at how Disney portrays disabilities and the treatment the characters receive.


The first Disney movie I would like to Discuss is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. All of the seven dwarfs have some kind of disability on top of having a
growth impairment. The two main dwarfs are Dopey and Doc. Doc is the leader amongst the seven and suffers a speech impediment, having trouble pronouncing words correctly and often stuttering. He is also slightly bigger than the other dwarfs which makes the others look weaker. Doc’s disabilities are a perfect representation of Berger’s ableism-“assumes that some people (and bodies) are normal and superior while other people are abnormal and inferior”
(Berger, Introducing Disability studies. 2013). Due to Doc’s condition he was the most able dwarf and all the other dwarfs were secondary to him.
Disney’s representation of Doc shows that disabilities like or similar to his makes all the others lesser and more reliable to the “normal” or “most normal” person. On the other hand, Dopey is the complete opposite of Doc and ableism. Dopey’s disability would put him in the intellectual disability category.
Intellectual disability is significant limitations intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, which covers many everyday social and practical skills,
this is also the term now used for mental retardation. Dopey

#25examplesofableismtoavoid #ableism #peoplewithdisabilities

There will always be ableist remarks that are still fairly common and are commonly said to people with disabilities and that it feels like kicking someone when they are down. Since at least one out of five people will become disabled in their lives —and ableism is still largely unaddressed and unknown — if you are the loved one of someone with a disability,
you will want to be aware of how to proceed with compassion. Here is a list of 25 examples of ableism so you can be a good friend / medical practitioner/family member etc and avoid the harm ableism causes. So, I'm going to share with you at least 25 common examples that are being done by people who are ableist and not knowing that they are doing and hopefully this video will at least make you think twice about what you're doing to people with a disability hidden, mental or physical. We need to be mindful of others. So, here are a few do's and don'ts if you will to keep in mind when being around people with a disability.

#ableism  #mentalableism #physicalabelism #aspieanswers  

Before we dive into the complex and much-hidden concept of ableism, we all need to first understand the very basics of ableism. I did share with you all the very basics of ableism and what you all need to know based on my first video series of this which you can find here above me in the right-hand corner of the screen.                                                         

But in brief, ableism is defined by Wikipedia as, "discrimination and social prejudice against people with disabilities.” What does that really mean, though? Before we can get into that, we must first understand that there are 3 main types of Ableism, each regarding a different type of affected ability and each discriminated against differently. The three types kinds of ableism that were shared today were: Physical ableism, mental ableism, and cultural ableism.

#ableism #negativeattitudesandbeliefs #stigma #stereotyping   

An “ableist” belief system often underlies negative attitudes, stereotypes, and stigma toward people with psychosocial disabilities. “Ableism” refers to attitudes in society that devalue and limit the potential of persons with disabilities. Ableism is disablism (Brit. English), androphobia, anapirism, and disability discrimination) is discrimination and social prejudice against people with disabilities or who are perceived to have disabilities. Ableism characterizes persons as defined by their disabilities and as inferior to the non-disabled. On this basis, people are assigned or denied certain perceived abilities, skills, or character orientations.  There are stereotypes, generally inaccurate, associated with either disability in general, or with specific disabilities (for instance a presumption that all disabled people want to be cured, that wheelchair users necessarily have an intellectual disability, or that blind people have some special form of insight). These stereotypes in turn serve as a justification for ableist practices and reinforce discriminatory attitudes and behaviors toward people who are disabled. Labeling affects people when it limits their options for action or changes their identity and self-worth along with their self-esteem.
