I Respect The Special Needs

I love how we’ve progressed since the time my Nan was born, she was born in 1929 but she couldn’t walk so she never went to school because her physical disability made her uneducable apparently. When WW2 broke out she wasn’t even evacuated to the countryside because of her disability: 21 years later her sister came along with Downs Syndrome, but because of the stigma it carried her mother used to dress her in thick coats and shawls to cover her over because people disabilities weren’t socially acceptable in those days. We’re so lucky that things have changed now and all kinds of people are getting accepted. In my time at school I met two people with special needs, one had all kind of things, I’m not sure what exactly he had but at the age of 10 he was being taught to write his name and to count to 20, the other had autism. I managed befriend both of them and I still see one of them from time to time. I don’t see the problem with special needs people being part of the society, they’re just trying to live their life like anybody else, so let them. They might need more help than other people but then people need help all of the time. Every person in my household wears glasses, so that’s a need that’s special to us. Its not socially unacceptable to wear glasses, use crutches or wear a hearing aid, so why should it be socially unacceptable to have autism, Down syndrome or any other condition alike?
