I feel extremely fortunate that my little girl was born in this decade when support and compassion for her are light years ahead of previous generations. I do feel lucky that she is not degraded, ignored, ridiculed or viewed as a waste of life. All this and much, much worse would have been the life endured 30-50 years ago. Granted we as a society still have a long way to go but I’m grateful for how far on that journey we have come. We as a family are extremely grateful to have access to such a wonderful scheme and we would be lost without motability. The scheme is just one of a host of fantastic services we have accessed locally in recent years from providing one to one education in a Special Educational Needs school tailoring to her very specific needs. To adaptations to ‘future-proof’ our home for the rest of her life. It saddens me to see people from the same vulnerable section of society jumping on their soap box, wanting to rant and have their two-penneth. Please save your unbelievable passion against disability injustice for the times it is really needed. Pick your battles, as there are plenty. Although worded thoughtlessly and I do not know Smallcar from Joe blogs in the street, I know he never meant I should be grateful my daughter has difficulties but that she is with us today and not 50+ years ago. Taking his post in this context, I agree without question. I absolutely know he did not mean any malice in his post and I hope when others have taken a moment, they will see that too. We are all on the same side here and life is tough enough without in-house falling out. Take care ❤️
