If a person has got something to offer no matter what the age of the person then they should do so. We can all learn new things from each other. I have been reading a 14 year old girls blog about her life with Neurofibromatosis.
Her blog is refreshing to have a younger persons view on the condition. I like to share information with as many people as possible. That's why I started this blog. If one persons views are changed by it then I'm happy. You can learn just as much from a young person than an adult.
I have been getting negative opinions about my disabilities. The people in question seem to make comments without doing any research of their own. If I make statements or say something I always research it first to make sure I have my facts right.
It is dangerous just to assume something is right in your eyes. If someone is going to comment on someones way of life, they should make sure they have the facts first. You can do more damage just speaking without thinking than just taking a moment to think before you speak.

New blog time. Ive not written one for a while so I thought that I would do one. I want to talk about the was disabled people are portrayed on TV.
Firstly I want to talk about the show on Channel 4 called Cast offs. This show is excellent. It is a drama based on a reality show of disabed people on a desert island. All of the actors on this show have genuine disabilities and are showed in a sympathetic light. They have a wide range of people in the show with different difficulties. It shows that people with a disability can learn to cope in extreme situations. Like I have said before though learning to cope an adapt doesnt make you less disabled.
In Eastenders they have a character who is in a wheel chair the actor is genuinely in a wheel chair and is not an actor in one. They also have a little boy who is deaf in the show and deaf in real life. In Emerdale there is a blind lady which is played by a genuine blind actress.
The show Tracy Beaker has a character in it with Cerebral Palsy. She has the condition in real life.
There still needs to be more disabled people on TV. There was uproar in the UK because they had a childrens presenter with one arm. I don't see the problem with it. If your child asks questions then they are only curious and its better for them to learn to accept people. It would stop a lot of bullying in schools because a person seems different to them.
Being disabled doesnt make you any less normal it just means you have different challenges in life to other people.
