Things Not To Say To People With Dwarfism

Whether it's people trying to take a sneaky photo (then denying it), or thinking it’s perfectly acceptable to ask, “Is everything in proportion?”- those with dwarfism are on the receiving end of stereotypes and questions that range from the ridiculous to the downright offensive.

We've been fed this lie by media for way too long that all people with disabilities would do anything and everything to be able-bodied while it's obviously not true.

Felix Henson each to their own. If I were disabled I would rather be not able. I would also rather be rich than poor and pretty instead of ugly, healthy instead of unhealthy etc, basically anything that makes life easy instead of difficult.

I have an eye condition and a disease that affects multiple body parts, but I'd rather live with them than without, because it's the only thing that makes me interesting.

Please do a dyscalculia one or one about auditory processing issues! People dont really know what dyscalculia is and constantly find myself saying "Its like dyslexia but with numbers" and with auditory processing its "No I'm not deaf but I also cant hear you especially if theres background noise"

[@Laladust]

They covered Dyscalculia on an episode of Degrassi-The Next Generation(it's a Canadian 90's teen drama if you don't know). One of the brainiest students called Liberty is getting special lessons after school and nobody understands because "Liberty is the smartest girl in school, she can't be getting tutored". Then her teacher hands her a pamphlet that everyone in school rumours is a love note and the teacher ultimately gets suspended under suspicion of sleeping with Liberty because the rumours get out of hand(the students are like 13 at this point in the show cause I reckon it was series 2). Then Liberty comes clean when one of her "friends" is like, "is it true you're sleeping with the teacher. Everyone says he passed you a love note". and she says, "NO!!! It's a pamphlet on Dyscalculia. It's Dyslexia with numbers. He's been helping me because it's embarrassing. I'm supposed to be the smartest kid in school". That was 30 years ago and I reckon people are still as clueless about it today. In the show a teacher was suspended under monstrous suspicions because a girl was too ashamed to admit she reads numbers a bit funny.

Yes!, I have both processing disorder due to ASD and dyscalculia and find myself sounding like a broken record most of the time.

[@dennisjeffs4239]

It's refreshing to see that these people are so cool about the situations they find themselves in, a great outlook on life in general, they are not bitter and I'm sure have many friends who never think of their size as they go about their daily lives, great programme!!

[@Emma-dl2ei]

One of my elementary school teachers had dwarfism. My parents hated her, not because of the dwarfism. But she denied me classes to have special classes for my learning disabilities (I have ADHD) because my grades were to high.

5:43 "you wanna just go step outside, have a look, and go, 'naah'" omg I love her I'm gay and autistic and I feel this so much. Like I've fought hard with others and myself to be not just happy with who I am but genuinely proud, and I'd never give it up, I'd never be straight or allistic. But sometimes you can't help but wonder, if for no other reason than to affirm that you're alright

It's nice to know how they feel, hear things from their point of view. if I ever see someone being mean to them, I'll definitely step in knowing what I know now. This is not trash tv for once, it's important, they human and they live among us.

[@tjb5924]

Sadly, I've never actually had the opportunity to speak with someone with dwarfism & I have only ever seen one fella in real life so I am completely uninitiated of the Do's & Don'ts when it comes to proper etiquette. Unfortunately my lack of knowledge would prevent me from interacting with someone with dwarfism if given the chance as I'd be too afraid of offending or unintentionally hurting their feelings. For example, until seeing this I had thought the preferred term was midget & not dwarf because I associated dwarf with fairy tales like 'Snow white' & for some reason I thought that may be offensive.. I sincerely appreciate BBC for doing these "what not to say" series as its been wonderful to learn things that I otherwise would not have known.. Thank You & your amazing diversity within each group you host is wonderful!! Keep it up! Huge Hugs.

[@averygrace1457]

[@harrypike5140]

@@bonk4225 Not sure what makes you think this is a US-specific thing? Height is a biological determiner of attractiveness in men regardless of location. I agree that the USA is worse as young women there are incredibly superficial, shallow and materialistic. However, I live in Europe (Germany) and it's really not much different. You get alot of girls here saying "Oh I don't care about height" but then they always have a bf who is like 6,2". The ones who genuinely don't care about height are usually far-left feminist types who are unfeminine and dislike masculinity in general.

thank you for the insight!!! Obviously i didnt need to know to treat everyone like people and with respect. but i will admit growing up i rarely heard the word dwarf and i geniunely did not know that the ‘M’ word is hurtful since i always just heard the condition these people have referred to as that. im thankful now i know how to properly address the condition if ever need be. these people are so funny and lovely

coming from a dwarf, i can confirm a lot of this is what you dont say to someone who has dwarfism!! this is great. im so glad this video was made. the only thing that doesnt bother me is “do you ever wish you were taller?”. everything else is spot on.
