Normally, I do not like to discuss my disability, cerebral palsy, because I feel that I am just as able-bodied as the next person. However, since my speech is not the clearest and my walk is unlike that of the average person, society labels me as ”handicapped.”

It is high time that I, along with the rest of the ”handicaps,”

”cripples” and ”gimps” speak directly to those people who treat our lives as some kind of circus side show. The disabled have feelings-just treat disabled people as anyone else would be treated!
