It's also a question confused me when I see disabled people what I should do and what I shouldn't do, and what kind of question that I can ask them or I can't. It's difficult, isn't it? That is because sometimes I think I should regard them as same as everybody else in the world so that will make them feel better, but in another hand, I am also worried about that they might feel I didn't give enough concern and help for them.
In my opinions, I think the disabled people now live better than before, but better doesn't mean it is enough, there is still lots of things worth to discuss and improve. Furthermore, I am very pleasant to see the people in UK how to fight for themselves and I hope their experience can help those who live in other places.
Do you think disability is fairly represented in the media? It's certainly a topic which is freely discussed and without so much prejudice as in the past. It was interesting to see how paralympians were represented by the TV media last summer: as heroes, as super-human (bizarre, when you think about it...). And for sure, audience figures for what were previously neglected spectacles (disabled sport, for want of a better phrase) were extremely high.
