It’s really nice to see how much effort they are making into making it better for everyone. They have some things to learn from disabled people, like how they speak about us more respectfully, but they are on a very good way. Their attitude towards disabled people is good and that’s the hardest to adjust, so it’s very close to perfect from what we see in this video. There’s really only 3 things that I noticed that would be good to adjust when talking about us. 1) It is generally more respectful to refer to us as disabled people, rather than people with a disability. The phrasing “people with a disability” always gives the impression you’re trying to remind yourself we’re people, and see the disability as something that’s seperate from us when it’s something that is intrinsically connected to who we are and who we become, you can’t seperate us from it. 2) Then any phrasing that includes “special” when it comes to disabled people. “Special” has a very othering and derogatory connotation to it because of the history, so we prefer it to not be used. 3) Disabled people learn things naturally just like non-disabled people. We might need help because we may not be able to learn some things intuitively, but we learn them naturally all the same. It’s not like we get a computer put into our brain that learns it artificially for us. And even with implants that support us artificially we still have to learn to use it naturally, those things are not plug and play like a computer mouse and the knowledge doesn’t get uploaded into our brain like they do it in the matrix.

How about some knee pads so he doesn’t hurt his knees when crawling?

[@82mabli]

Knee pads are often for impact, but I think not so great for his way to walk

We need better benefits for these people be able to afford for support and crazy they never got it. We got to be careful when politicians cut programs as they affect these people and we need more .
