definition for: #respectmydisability

This is to bring awareness that persons with developmental disabilities are people too. They can do amazing things yet they are laughed and mocked at. Given the chance they are more than capable at excelling. They are not a disease they have a condition and this condition means they have to work that much harder. They are beautiful people who deserve a chance to be like everyone else. Appreciate them for who they are, not what you want them to be. Please respect their disability.

Each individual is different and just because they are not like typical people, this does not make them any less human. Respect my disability refers not only to persons with developmental disabilities, but anyone who has a condition that may put a limit on what they can do according to society's definition.
